Narendra Modi's visit to Australia in November 2014 was the first for an Indian Prime Minister in almost three decades and promised much. Modi declared that Australia was no longer on the 'periphery' of New Delhi's 'vision', 'but at the centre of our thoughts'. He pledged to work with Canberra at the G20 and regional multilateral forums, deepen the bilateral security partnership, and conclude a free trade deal. These promises were only partly realised. Progress was made in defence and security cooperation, within and outside the Quad, but a free trade deal proved too hard. Canberra struggled to maintain momentum in improving ties because of leadership challenges in Australian government and New Delhi's preference for protectionism. This article examines these dynamics, looking back at the drivers of the strategic partnership, as well as at the challenges encountered in the Modi era.
2014年11月纳伦德拉·莫迪访问澳大利亚，这是近三十年来印度总理首次访澳，当时人们满怀期待。莫迪宣称，澳大利亚不再处于新德里“视野”的“边缘”，“而是我们思考的核心”。他承诺在二十国集团（G20）和地区多边论坛上与堪培拉合作，深化双边安全伙伴关系，并达成自由贸易协定。这些承诺只部分得以实现。在四方机制内外的国防与安全合作方面取得了进展，但自由贸易协定却难以达成。由于澳大利亚政府面临领导权挑战以及新德里倾向于保护主义，堪培拉在改善双边关系方面难以保持势头。本文审视了这些动态情况，回顾了战略伙伴关系的驱动因素以及莫迪时代所遇到的挑战。
