Both the leaders are in Japan to attend the 14th G20 Summit in Osaka. Apart from participating in the summit, Morrison and Modi are busy holding a string of bilateral and multilateral meetings.

Earlier on Saturday, PM Modi held bilateral meetings with Indonesian President Joko Widodo and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on the sidelines of the summit. PM Modi will participate in the closing ceremony of the summit on Saturday night. 

Shortly before departing for India, PM Modi will host a final bilateral with Australian PM Scott Morrison.
