Canada's Trudeau starts India visit With a trip to Taj Mahal

February 18, 2018 12:16

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family have reached Agra for a visit to the iconic Taj Mahal.

The Trudeaus landed in Delhi last evening on a week-long visit to India that's expected to deepen ties as much with New Delhi as with Indians in Canada. The 46-year-old PM is accompanied by a chunk of his cabinet ministers.

This trip, he said, was focused on creating jobs and strengthening the "deep connection" between the people of the two nations.

Tomorrow, Trudeau, who is on his first state visit to India, will fly to PM Modi's home state, Gujarat. Besides a visit to Mahatma Gandhi's Sabarmati Ashram on Monday, Trudeau will also visit the Akshardham Temple in Gujarat and lead a discussion at the Indian Institute of Management on "Education and Investment Opportunities" with students.
