Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott will undertake his first visit to India next week to further strengthen the strategic partnership and promote trade and investment between the two countries, which are also likely to ink the much-awaited uranium deal.

"I will travel to India and Malaysia from September 4 to 6. On my first visit to India as Prime Minister, I will visit New Delhi and India's financial capital, Mumbai, to strengthen the strategic partnership between our two countries," he said.

Noting that the two nations have strong and growing economic and trade ties, he said India is Australia's fifth largest export market with total exports of $11.4 billion.

"There is potential for further cooperation in resources, science, technology and education," Abbott said.
