More than 20,000 members of the Indian diaspora have registered so far
for the grand community reception organised for Prime Minister Narendra
Modi in Sydney during his upcoming visit to Australia on May 23.
The event -- Australia Welcomes Modi -- organised by non-profit
Indian Australian Diaspora Foundation (IADF) will provide Indians Down
Under an opportunity to see Modi and listen to his address to the
community.
The IADF said it has received an overwhelming response
with more than 20,000 members of the diaspora having already registered
for the event.
"Since the opening of the registration process,
more than 300 diaspora organisations from various social, cultural,
linguistic, business, professional, and religious backgrounds have
registered to become 'Welcome Partners' for the reception," the IADF
said in a release.
"We received an overwhelming response with more than 20,000 members of the diaspora already registered," it added.
In less than 72 hours of the opening of registrations, more than 7,500 people signed up.
The
organisation, which provides a platform for the Indian diaspora in
Australia to come together, network, and promote cultural and community
events, has also received over 100 proposals for cultural performances.
"There
will be a cultural extravaganza with colorful performances of singing,
music and various dance forms to showcase the diverse and rich culture
of India, and how the Indian diaspora has enriched the wider Australian
multicultural society," the release stated.
The Prime Minister is
scheduled to travel to Japan, Papua New Guinea and Australia in May
with the power-packed visit concluding Down Under where he will attend
the Quad summit from May 23 to 24 in Sydney. Modi last visited Australia
in 2014, and addressed 20,000 people at the Sydney SuperDome at Olympic
Park.
According to media reports, the Parramatta Council has
formally extended an invitation to Modi to visit Harris Park, informally
referred to as 'Little India', this time.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese who visited India this year, formally extended the invite to his Indian counterpart.
