Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles says India and Australia are the “very best of friends” as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese travels to India on Wednesday afternoon for economic negotiations and some cricket viewing.
“When Prime Ministers Albanese and Modi walk onto the ground tomorrow, there is every chance that they will do so in front of a world record crowd for a test match,” Mr Marles said.
“Cricket is perhaps the best symbol of what we have in common as two countries … foreign relations is not very different to human relations.
“As two countries, we are the very best of friends.”
