Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for expanding energy access across India like never before. Speaking at an event, Albanese stated that more people gained energy access during Modi's tenure than in any decade, region or country in human history. Albanese also emphasized the strengthening ties between India and Australia, crediting Modi for the relationship.
The Australian leader's comments come at a time when global energy security faces strain due to disruptions in shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, caused by the conflict involving the US, Israel and Iran. India has managed to maintain stable energy supplies despite the turmoil, with only a slight increase in fuel prices. Earlier this year, Modi attributed India's energy stability to the diversification of its energy imports, now sourced from 41 countries compared to 27 previously.
