Robert Menzies first visited India in December 1950 en route to London for the British Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Conference. While there, he met with the Governor-General Chakravarti Rajagopalachari and Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. He also visited the Taj Mahal and made a broadcast over All India Radio in which he said, 'We must learn to think together and to act together. India, Pakistan, Great Britain, Australia, and all the nations of the Commonwealth must fit themselves for friendship based on common interests and mutual understanding.'
