Modi, who is the first prime minister to visit Australia in 28 years after Rajiv Gandhi, arrived in Sydney on Monday on the second leg of his four-city tour of this country.

Australia's aboriginal dancers today gave a traditional welcome to the prime minister.

Modi spent about five minutes at the lobby of Hotel Pullman and watched the four male dancers, who also sang, perform a few dance sequences. Modi, who sat in a chair, also clapped his hands at the end of each sequences. He later shook hands with dancers. He got a boomerang as a gift from the dancers.
