Seeking to enhance defence ties, India and Australia today established a framework for security cooperation, as they decided to conclude a long pending Free Trade pact by the end of next year and an "early closure" of the civilian nuclear deal that will facilitate uranium trade.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Australian counterpart Tony Abbott held talks and decided to establish a Framework for Security Cooperation to reflect their deepening and expanding security and defence collaboration for advancing regional peace and combating terrorism among other challenges.

After the summit talks at the Prime Minister's office, just two months after Abbott's maiden visit to India, the two countries signed five pacts on social security, transfer of sentenced prisoners, combating narcotics trade, tourism, and Arts and Culture.

That's the picture Tony Abbott tweeted saying, "A terrific heartfelt address to the Australian Parliament by @narendramodi"
