 Kim Cho from Brisbane, Prime Minister Modi, thank you for joining us today for our virtual annual leaders meeting. I very much wish we could be together with you in person, but that day I hope will soon come. I hear you've just hosted our dear friend, Fumiakashita, the Japanese Prime Minister, and I hope you celebrated a joyful holly on Friday. I'm very glad to have this virtual meeting to drive our bilateral cooperation to new heights, but you are already ascending those new heights and I congratulate you on your five election victories in the states recently, particularly in Goa. That must have been a tremendous result for you and I congratulate you. Our meeting today is of course set against a very distressing backdrop of the war in Europe which must never happen in our own region and I very much want to thank you for the partnership that we have while we are obviously distressed at the terrible situation in Europe. Our focus of course is always very much on what is occurring in the Indo-Pacific and ensuring that those events could never occur here in the Indo-Pacific. Our region is facing increasing change and much pressure and I think our quad leaders call recently which gave us the opportunity to discuss Russia's unlawful invasion of Ukraine, but it also gave us the opportunity to discuss the implications and consequences of that terrible event for our own region in the Indo-Pacific and the coercion and the issues that we face here. The tragic loss of life underlies the importance of course of holding Russia to account, but cooperation between like-minded liberal democracies is key to an open and inclusive and resilient and prosperous Indo-Pacific and I welcome your leadership within the quad to keeping us focused on those important issues. Our comprehensive strategic partnership though reflects the ambition that we share and we hold for our relationship and the pace and scale of that cooperation since we lifted ties back in 2020 has been remarkable, but I ambitious as I know you are to make it even closer particularly when it comes to our economic cooperation which I hope we're able to advance further today. We've made great progress in defence, maritime cooperation, science, technology, clean energy as well which is something I know that Australia can work together closely with India on and I'll be delighted today to announce some more initiatives that build on that foundation towards our post-pandemic world, science, technology, energy and especially critical minerals and rare earths and will redouble our efforts as I said on our interim comprehensive economic cooperation agreement to unlock new opportunities and benefits for both our economies. It will bring us closer to a full agreement as soon as I hope we can achieve that. Prime Minister it's wonderful to see you Narendra and I invite you to share your opening remarks. Our last virtual summit we gave our relationship a comprehensive strategic partnership and I am pleased that today we are establishing a mechanism for annual summit between two countries. This will create a structural structure for the review of our relations. Excellency in the last few years our relations have been developed for trade and investment, defence or security, education or innovation, science and technology. In all these areas we have a very close connection. Many other areas such as critical minerals, water management, renewable energy, COVID-19 research has increased our collaboration rapidly. In Bangalore the centre of excellence for critical and emerging technology policy I welcome you with all my heart. In cyber and critical and emerging technology we have a very close connection. The responsibility of all the countries is that in these advanced technologies we have a very close connection. Excellency our comprehensive economic cooperation agreement CECA. As you said I also want to say that in very short time I am very sure that the rest of the issues will be a quick meeting. CECA's quick meeting will be very important for our economic relations, economic revival and economic security. There is a very close connection between us in CECA. Our connection between free, open and inclusive Indo-Pacific is very important for our cooperation. For the region and the best of the situation the success of CECA is very important. Excellency, I would like to thank you very much for returning to the old Indian technologies. And the technologies that you have sent including Rajasthan, Pashim Mangal, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh along with many other Indian countries have been removed from the old technologies for hundreds of years. And for that I would like to pay special attention to all the Indian people. Now all the things that you have returned to the old technologies will be able to return to the right place. I would like to thank all the Indian people once again for bringing you back to the old technologies. In Cricket World Cup, for the amazing presentation of the Australian women's cricket team you were very much welcomed. In the match of the Sanivar, Australia has won the match but there is still a lot to be done. Both the national teams have been very successful. Excellency, once again today I got the opportunity to share my thoughts with you. I am very happy for that. Now I would like to thank my media friends for their support. After that, after a few moments I would like to keep my thoughts on the next agenda item.
