New Delhi: Prime Minster Narendra Modi today said he looks forward to holding talks
with his Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau tomorrow to further
strengthen relations between the two nations.
"I look forward to
meeting PM @JustinTrudeau tomorrow and holding talks on further
strengthening India-Canada relations in all spheres. I appreciate his
deep commitment to ties between our two countries," Modi tweeted.
Prime Minister Modi not receiving Trudeau at the airport, a
courtesy he extended to some world leaders in the past, had triggered
speculation in Canada that it was a snub to him for the rising Sikh
radicalism in that country.
However, government sources
here had strongly rejected the speculation, insisting normal diplomatic
protocol has been extended to Trudeau.
"I hope PM @JustinTrudeau
and his family had a very enjoyable stay so far. I particularly look
forward to meeting his children Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien," the PM
said in another tweet.
He also posted a picture from his 2015 Canada visit when he had met Trudeau and Ella-Grace.
