Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a rousing welcome by the Indian diaspora in Sydney Australia, as he arrived for his official visit on Tuesday.
While addressing the Indian community in the Sydney Stadium, the PM hailed the ties of both countries and said. "Our lifestyles may be different but now Yoga also connects us. We have been connected due to cricket for long. But now tennis and films are also connecting us. We might prepare food in different manners but Masterchef is connecting us now."
The event's organisers, the Indian Australian Diaspora Foundation (IADF), are expecting a crowd of more than 20,000.
