OTTAWA-Justin Trudeau has defended tooth and nail the balance of her trip to India yesterday, which ended on a positive note with the prime minister of india, after a week of discomfort and controversy.

Following a meeting of nearly two hours with Narendra Modi, the top leader of India, the two politicians have announced a series of new agreements, particularly in the areas of education, commerce, and also of the fight against terrorism.

“When I had conversations with prime minister Modi, we continued to talk about the shared values of diversity, respect, that we as a democracy as a society based on common values. While stressing the importance of working together to counter violent extremism and terrorism “, has launched the PM during a media scrum yesterday, characterizing the meeting as ” excellent “.

It completed the final stage of a week-long visit that has often made headlines, but for the wrong reasons. The media are in particular made fun of the fact that the PM has worn traditional indian clothes during the trip.

Discomfort

In addition, Mr. Trudeau has been an embarrassment Wednesday, when he had to cancel the invitation to a dinner to honor a separatist sikh extremist who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the attempted assassination of an indian minister during a visit to Canada.

For his part, the former high commissioner of India in Canada, Vishnu Prakash, is of the opinion that at the end, the trip was saved by the “excellent” meeting between MESSRS. Trudeau and Modi, yesterday.

However, the spectrum of the relationship between the liberals and the separatist sikhs in Canada remains a subject of “discomfort” between the prime minister and India.

“It is as if France had decided to host terrorists, extremists, separatists, violent of Canada. And then, the French government developed a relationship with them, the reel and was trying to get their votes “, was illustrated by Mr. Prakash.

Harry Sharma, Centre for excellence Canada-India Carleton University in Ottawa, also believes that the meeting with the prime minister Modi has saved the journey of Justin Trudeau.
