Ahmedabad: Australian PM Anthony Albanese on Saturday praised his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi for making all efforts to make his delegates feel welcome in the country.

"Thank you to Prime Minister @narendramodi for the extraordinary effort to make my Australian delegation to feel welcome in India. Having the pleasure of hearing The Triffids and The Go Betweens on the sitar was unexpected and extremely touching," he tweeted.
