India-Australia friendship based on Bharosa, Samman, says Australian PM Scott Morrison

Describing India as a “longstanding friend” of Australia, Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Friday sent a special message of trust, respect and friendship to Indians across the world ahead of the country’s 74th Independence Day.

Morrison said the “deep friendship” between Australia and India was about more than trade and diplomacy.

“Founded on Bharosa (trust) and Samman (respect) — it is a friendship with depth, and marked by democracy, defence cooperation, diaspora and Dosti (friendship), ” the prime minister said.
