Paid my respects at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra—a truly moving place that honors the bravery and sacrifices made to protect the freedoms and democracy we both hold dear in India and Australia. It was an honor to remember the Indian soldiers who fought so bravely alongside their Australian comrades in far-off lands. Their courage and sense of duty shine through as a timeless bond, uniting our nations in shared history and values. #IndiaAustralia #IndiainAustralia

Excited to share that India and Australia have taken another big step forward in our #defencepartnership! We signed three key agreements today: one on information sharing, an MoU for submarine search and rescue cooperation, and terms of reference to kick off joint staff talks.These will help us ramp up operational coordination, deepen #maritimesecurity ties, and make our armed forces work even better together. We also chatted about ramping up military exercises, defence industry partnerships, science and tech collaborations, and plenty more.

Attended the National Conference on Defence Manufacturing today. "The battlefield has changed—tomorrow's wars will be fought with algorithms, AI, drones, and quantum tech. We've seen it in Operation Sindoor!" I urge states to partner in building a strong, homegrown defence ecosystem. Our domestic buys have jumped from Rs 74,000 crore to Rs 1.2 lakh crore—it's a shift from dependence to confidence. iDEX has produced 650 winners and Rs 3,000 crore in prototypes.

On the occasion of #vijayadashami, performed Shastra Puja in Bhuj and saluted our brave Armed Forces for #operationsindoor, which exposed Pakistan’s air defence. Also warned Pakistan if they act any misadventure in Sir Creek, they will face a strong reply that will change history and geography.
Above all, one should understand that Shastra Puja is not merely a ritual, but a reflection of India’s civilizational philosophy, where weapons are regarded as instruments of dharma, not just tools of violence.
