Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Melbourne, Australia, from 8 July to 10 July 2026. The trip is the second leg of a three‑nation tour and follows the comprehensive strategic partnership that Australia and India established in 2020.

The Melbourne visit is part of the Australia‑India Annual Leaders' Summit, according to indiatoday.in. During the visit Modi is scheduled to meet Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, as reported by gdelt, and Albanese praised India’s economic growth and said he looks forward to hosting Modi again, according to the Hindu. Lisa Singh said more defence deals could be established during the visit (gdelt). Some critics described the visit as a political campaign and posturing (australian5.com).

The partnership between the two nations includes cooperation in trade, defence, security, technology and education (gdelt). A Letter of Intent was handed over to Flinders University to set up a campus in Bengaluru (indiatoday.in), and Victoria University received approval to operate a campus in Gurugram (indiatoday.in).
