New Delhi: India's External Affairs Minister Dr. S Jaishankar is currently touring Australia to strengthen bilateral ties. This is his second visit to Australia this year. Jaishankar met Australian Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles on Monday. The meeting between the two diplomats took place in Canberra. During this, the Foreign Minister of India presented a special gift to Richard Marles, who is also the Defense Minister of Australia. Keeping in mind Marles' love for cricket, Jaishankar gifted him a bat signed by legendary Indian batter Virat Kohli.

"A pleasure to host @DrSJaishankar here in Canberra. There are many things which bind us, including our love of cricket. Today, he surprised me with a signed bat from cricket legend @imVkohli," Marles wrote on Twitter as he posted a pic of Jaishankar gifting him bat signed by Virat Kohli.
