Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand in New Delhi to advance bilateral cooperation across several sectors.

The discussions covered trade, security, defence, along with technology, energy, education, and people-to-people exchanges.

Both sides stressed the importance of sustaining momentum and working toward an early conclusion of a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement.

The meeting followed a telephone conversation between Modi and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
