Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday held a brief conversation with his Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau amid strain in bilateral ties over the case relating to the killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Modi also held a separate conversation with US President Joe Biden on the sidelines of the summit of G7 advanced economies in Italy`s Apulia region.
"It`s always a pleasure to meet @POTUS @JoeBiden. India and USA will keep working together to further global good," Modi posted on X. "Met Canadian PM @JustinTrudeau at the G7 Summit," Modi said on `X`. Both Modi and Trudeau were seen warmly greeting each other during the encounter. It is not immediately known what transpired between Modi and Trudeau. The ties between the two countries came under severe strain following Trudeau`s allegations in September last year of a "potential" involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Nijjar in British Columbia. New Delhi rejected Trudeau`s charges as "absurd" and "motivated."
