PM Modi’s possible Australia visit sparks race among India-linked groups to host high-profile event

Indian diaspora organizations in Australia are vying to host Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his possible visit to the country, according to sources. The competition has intensified as groups seek to organize a high-profile event that would showcase their influence and connection to India's leadership.

Multiple community groups have expressed interest in arranging a reception or cultural program, with each aiming to demonstrate their prominence within the Indian-Australian community. The visit, if confirmed, would mark Modi's first trip to Australia since 2014.

The Indian government has not officially announced the visit, but diplomatic sources indicate that planning is underway. The event would likely draw thousands of attendees from the Indian diaspora, which numbers over 700,000 in Australia.

Groups are reportedly in discussions with Indian diplomatic missions in Australia to secure approval for hosting the event. The competition reflects the growing political and economic ties between India and Australia, as well as the diaspora's desire to engage directly with Indian leadership.
