Congress chief Rahul Gandhi today met Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and discussed a range of issues concerning the two countries.
"I had a warm and cordial meeting with the Canadian Prime Minister in Delhi this evening. We had a fruitful discussion on a range of issues concerning our two countries. I look forward to continuing the dialogue and building a lasting friendship with him,"Gandhi tweeted after the meeting.
According to sources, the two shared their commitment towards liberal values.
Issues pertaining to economic development and new technologies were also discussed during the around 40-minute meeting, they said.
