Connected by Indian Ocean, united by Indian samosa, PM Modi tells Australian PM
"Sunday ScoMosas with mango chutney, all made from scratch—including the chutney! A pity my meeting with @narendramodi this week is by videolink. They're vegetarian, I would have liked to share them with him," Morrison tweeted.
New Delhi: Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who is scheduled to hold a virtual meeting with PM Modi this week, tried his hand at making the samosa, which he said he would have liked to share with Modi.
Morrison also tweeted images of ‘ScoMosas’–samosas made by him–and tagged the Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the social media post, expressing desire to share with him the popular Indian snack.
“Sunday ScoMosas with mango chutney, all made from scratch—including the chutney! A pity my meeting with @narendramodi this week is by videolink. They’re vegetarian, I would have liked to share them with him,” Morrison tweeted.

Connected by the Indian Ocean, united by the Indian Samosa!
Looks delicious, PM @ScottMorrisonMP!
Once we achieve a decisive victory against COVID-19, we will enjoy the Samosas together.
Looking forward to our video meet on the 4th. https://t.co/vbRLbVQuL1

The two leaders are scheduled for a virtual meet on June 4.
India and Australia are looking forward to deepening their strategic relationship, with a range of pacts from defence to trade in strategic sectors expected to be signed during the upcoming summit.
A local newspaper, The Australian reported last week that the new agreements will focus on reliable supply chains in key strategic sectors, including medical goods, technology and critical minerals.
The leaders will seal a new defence agreement allowing reciprocal access to bases and co-operation on military technology projects, while a new education partnership will be on the table to help overcome Australian university reliance on Chinese students.
