Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will arrive in India on February 17 for a weeklong visit that will span five cities and involve plenty of work and some play. While Trudeau will be in India at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, his visit will include a stop in Ahmedabad, the latter’s home state and now increasingly featuring on the itineraries of foreign dignitaries. In addition, nearly a dozen members of Canada’s Parliament, of Indian heritage, will also arrive in India with Trudeau. In a statement released by the Canadian Prime Minister’s Office, Trudeau said, “Canada and India share a special bond and are linked by tremendous people-to-people connections. This visit reflects the high level of priority that Prime Minister Trudeau places on this strategic partnership.
