AFP confirms threat made against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi

Australian Federal Police have officially warned a person who made a death threat towards Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, ahead of his arrival in the country later this week.

An AFP spokesperson said the source of an online threat towards Mr Modi was identified and spoken with on July 3.

"Following an assessment of the matter, the young person was issued a formal warning," an AFP spokesperson said.

"There is no current or impending risk to the community."

The AFP spokesperson said any suspected criminal behaviour including threats and harassment would be taken seriously and investigated.

Mr Modi, who has served as prime minister of India for the past 12 years, will travel to Melbourne this week for an official visit.

He is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for their annual leaders' summit, and appear at a community event at Marvel Stadium.

"The Australia-India relationship has never been more consequential, and our partnership fosters peace, stability and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific," Mr Albanese said.

"I look forward to strengthening Australia and India's deep partnership."
