Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull will arrive in New Delhi today on a four-day visit.

This is the first visit by an Australian Prime Minister to India since former PM Tony Abbott visited in September 2014.

A number of MoUs and agreements in areas of security, environment, sports, science and technology and health are expected to be signed during Aussie PM's first official visit.

TURNBULL TO BE ACCOMPANIED BY EDUCATION MINISTER

Turnbull will be accompanied by Education and Training Minister Simon Birmingham, who will be leading the high-powered delegation from education sector.

However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Australian counterpart have had substantive meetings on the sidelines of the G-20 in Antalya in 2015 and in Hangzhou in 2016.

The visiting leader will be accorded with a ceremonial reception at the Rashtrapati Bhavan on Monday.

Turnbull is scheduled to visit Mumbai on Tuesday, where he will attend several events, including an interaction with key business leaders and an energy round-table.
