Australia and India prepare to sign uranium supply agreement

Officials from Australia and India are set to sign a uranium supply agreement during the Indian prime minister’s three-day visit to Australia. The deal aims to end more than a decade of delays in regular uranium shipments despite the 2014 civil nuclear cooperation pact between the two countries.

Visit details The Indian prime minister will address an expected crowd of 30,000 Indian-Australians at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on Thursday. Speaking at a business event alongside the Indian prime minister, the Australian prime minister said the relationship between the countries had been “underdone, under-explored and under-examined” but had improved in the last decade.

Security measures Police formally warned a young person who made a death threat toward the Indian prime minister ahead of the visit. A far-right influencer entered the Melbourne hotel where the Indian prime minister is staying, shouted in the lobby, and was removed by police.
