would also seek to check Bhutan-China relations that had recently been
formalised.He also sought to build business ties, including a
hydro-electric deal, and inaugurated the India-funded Supreme Court of Bhutanbuilding.While
talking about the visit, Modi said that Bhutan was a "natural choice"

the two countries shared. He added that he was looking forward to nurture and
further strengthen India's special relations with Bhutan. His entourage

Modi arrived for a two-day visit to Nepal on 3
August. The last visit of an Indian prime minister to Nepal was 17 years ago in
1997 by I. K. Gujral.[9][Note I] The
talks with Nepal were focused on reviewing the 1950's
Treaty of Peace and Friendship, India-funded hydroelectricity projects in
Nepal and other infrastructure projects in Nepal. Following Jana
Andolan, that marked the beginning of constitutional democracy in
1990, Modi became the first foreign leader to address the Parliament of Nepal.[11][12] The
Western media read it as a shift in foreign affairs for India, as well
as a Nepal policy shift. He
did puja at
the fifth century Hindu Pashupatinath temple (where
he donated Rs. 25 crores and
the head priest, Mool Bhatta Ganesh Bhatta, said: "I told him that we see
him as a mascot for Hinduism, and appreciate his efforts in saving Hindu
culture").Further he pledged not to interfere in Nepal's internal
affairs (following controversy of appointment of Indian priests at a Nepali
temple, Modi announced a credit assistance programme of US$1 billion to
Nepal and said "Nepal can free India of its darkness with its electricity.
But [sic] we don't want free electricity, we want to buy
it. Just by selling electricity to India, Nepal can find a place in the
developed countries of the world." He also told Nepali MPs he wanted to
turn India's "hostile borders benign and ultimately gateways for free
trade and commerce...borders must be bridges not barriers." The Kathmandu Postreacted in writing: "Modi mantra warms
Nepal's hearts." The New York Times also
suggested the lack of a meeting with former King Gyanendra signified
that India would not support a return to monarchy despite the lack of a new constitution of Nepal. The
commonality of a majority Hindu heritage was also played up

The Prime Minister of Australia is the highest minister of the Crown,
leader of the Cabinet and head of government,
holding office on commission from the Governor-General
of Australia. The office of Prime Minister is, in practice, the most
powerful political office in Australia. Despite being at the apex of executive
government in the country, the office is not mentioned in the Constitution of
Australia and it
exists through an unwritten political
convention.
By convention, the prime
minister is the leader of the political party or coalition with majority support in
the House
of Representatives. However, there is no requirement that the prime
minister sit in the House of Representatives, or even be a member of parliament.
The only case where a member of the Senate was
appointed prime minister was John Gorton, who subsequently resigned his
Senate position and was elected as a member of the House of Representatives
(Senator George Pearce was acting prime minister for seven months
in 1916 while Billy Hughes was
overseas).[1]
The current Prime
Minister is Tony Abbott, the leader of the Coalition and the Liberal Party of
Australia, after the Coalition defeated the Australian Labor
Party at the 2013
federal election.
