NEW DELHI: Australia Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Sunday took to Twitter to share an image of 'ScoMosas'—samosas made by him—and tagged Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the social media post expressing his desire to share with him the popular Indian snack and the mango chutney Morrison cooked "from scratch". PM Modi responding to Morrison's tweet said that the two countries are "connected by the Indian Ocean, united by the Indian Samosa!"
The two leaders are scheduled for a virtual meet on June 4.
Morrison rued that he won't be able to share ScoMosas with Modi as they will be meeting via a videolink.
Morrison said, "They’re vegetarian, I would have liked to share them with him."

PM Modi in his response said that the ScoMosas looked delicious and that once "a decisive victory" against Covid-19 is achieved , they would enjoy the samosas together.

PM Modi will hold his first virtual bilateral summit on June 4, as he hopes to expand the strategic partnership with Australia in the backdrop of China's renewed efforts to step up aggression in the Indo-Pacific region. The summit is happening also amid new tensions between China and Australia over Canberra’s call for a global inquiry into the origin of the coronavirus. Australian PM Scott Morrison has described India as a natural partner.

The two sides at the meet are expected to conclude agreements to develop reliable supply chains in key strategic sectors, including medical goods, technology and critical minerals.
A new education partnership is also on the agenda to help overcome Australian universities’ dependence on Chinese students.
Australia is looking to expand agricultural exports to India, including barley, as China imposes trade barriers.
Morrison was scheduled to visit New Delhi in January but had postponed it due to the bush fires in Australia. The rescheduled plan for May was put on hold due to the outbreak of Covid-19.
