Both took to social media to make a show of bilateral friendship, with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/scottmorrisonmp\/status\/1266952463464071171?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Morrison posting pictures on Twitter of homemade vegetarian \u201cScoMosas\u201d<\/a>\u2014a play on his nickname, ScoMo, and samosas\u2014and expressing regret that Modi could not taste one. On cue, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/australia-pm-scott-morrison-makes-samosa-mango-chutney-wishes-to-share-with-pm-modi\/articleshow\/76117198.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Indian prime minister replied that they looked \u201cdelicious.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This contrived bonhomie might have conveyed the mistaken impression that the video meeting lacked substance. In fact, the lengthy&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pm.gov.au\/sites\/default\/files\/media\/csp-joint-statement.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">joint statement<\/a>&nbsp;that followed the summit detailed several significant agreements, as well as the elevation of the relationship to a \u201ccomprehensive strategic partnership.\u201d That formal change in status signals both countries\u2019 desire to work more closely together on issues of mutual interest and to deepen their economic and security ties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most important outcome of the summit, however, was the&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.minister.defence.gov.au\/minister\/lreynolds\/media-releases\/australia-and-india-sign-defence-arrangement\" target=\"_blank\">Mutual Logistics Support Arrangement<\/a>, which will allow the two sides to use each other\u2019s military bases and is designed to improve cooperation and interoperability between their naval forces. There were also a series of other deals aimed at increasing engagement on a range of issues, including cybersecurity, trade in strategic natural resources like rare earth minerals, defense technology, and education and vocational training. And Modi and Morrison announced a series of regular ministerial and working-level dialogues, including a biennial foreign and defense ministers\u2019 meeting. Known colloquially as a \u201c2+2\u201d format, these meetings serve as ways to coordinate regional diplomacy and defense cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Please click here
