  • Sydney reception for India PM Modi after G20

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi is addressing the Indian community at a reception in Sydney during his ongoing trip to Australia, the first by an Indian leader in 28 years.

    More than 15,000 people are attending the meeting in Sydney's Olympic park.

    Mr Modi arrived in Australia last week to participate in the G20 summit in Brisbane.

    On Tuesday, he will address a joint sitting of the Australian parliament in the capital, Canberra.

    Separately, Indian mining company Adani won support from the Indian government and the Australian state of Queensland on Monday to help build a $7bn (£4.4bn) coal mine, rail and port project.

    Adani signed a memorandum of understanding for a $1bn loan from a state-run bank Indian bank for the mine in Queensland, which it aims to build by the end of 2017. Australia has approved the coal project, despite concern over its potential environmental impact.
