New Delhi: Prime Minister Modi Brief interaction with the Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau exist G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Tuesday despite ongoing diplomatic tensions between the two countries. The two leaders were seen talking US President Biden.
During the photo, Biden stood between Modi and Trudeau, and the two exchanged views.
Leaders gathered for a group photo in the lobby of the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro.
India-Canada relations have soured significantly recently after Trudeau accused Indian government agents of involvement in the death of a Khalistan terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijarhe was shot dead near his monastery in Surrey.
India has previously labeled Nijar as a terrorist and dismissed the claims as baseless.
Relations between the two countries soured when Canada sought to investigate the Indian ambassador and five other diplomats as “persons of interest” in Nijar’s death. In response, India withdrew its diplomats and expelled six Canadian diplomats from New Delhi.
India has also criticized Ottawa for inaction against Khalistan supporters who challenge the country’s sovereignty and territorial unity.
