While Australia now hosts the 35th Australian Sikh Games, PM Modi has sent a sweet message to Australian National Sikh Sports and Cultural Council located in Brisbane, Australia.

 What Did PM Modi’s Letter Say?

PM Modi recalled moments spent with the Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese while witnessing the India-Australia cricket match. He said it was one of those moments he cherished and focused on the progress in a healthy and ever-growing partnership between India and Australia.

The letter said, “India and Australia have several commonalities - a connected history, shared values, love for democracy, and respect for a rules-based international order. We are also strong partners in progress and prosperity.”

These concepts are also relevant in the world of sports…Following in these footsteps, the Sikh community has always been actively involved in sports, teamwork, and fitness.”
