Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said he is looking forward to the meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family, who are in their last leg of the seven-day long visit to India, on Friday.
The duo are expected to hold talks on defence and counter-terrorism co-operation during their meeting tomorrow.
Taking to Twitter, Modi said: I look forward to meeting PM @JustinTrudeau tomorrow and holding talks on further strengthening India-Canada relations in all spheres. I appreciate his deep commitment to ties between our two countries.

In a separate tweet, he added: I hope PM @JustinTrudeau and his family had a very enjoyable stay so far. I particularly look forward to meeting his children Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien. Here is a picture from my 2015 Canada visit, when I’d met PM Trudeau and Ella-Grace.

Trudeau, who arrived in India along with his wife and children on February 17, met top business leaders in Mumbai and visited places such as the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad, Golden Temple in Amritsar and Jama Masjid in New Delhi.
Officials said Trudeau’s visit to Gujarat was the first of its kind by a Canadian prime minister. He also interacted with representatives of the film industry and participated in an event at IIM-Ahmedabad. Trudeau also met Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh.
The Trudeaus' group photos at the Taj Mahal, Golden Temple and other monuments have been taken down for the too-high Bollywood Quotient - they have appeared in carefully choreographed namastes and a variety of shiny and bright Indian outfits.
Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah posted multiple images of Canada's First Family and panned their fashion diplomacy.
Is it just me or is this choreographed cuteness all just a bit much now? Also FYI we Indians don’t dress like this every day sir, not even in Bollywood. pic.twitter.com/xqAqfPnRoZ

Why couldn’t @JustinTrudeau just use Photoshop? That way he could have had photos of all the INDIAN outfits and temples and ashrams and monuments and Bollywood without having to travel so many thousands of miles? It’s the costliest election photo-shoot.

But there have also been some voicing their appreciation and support for the Trudeaus' sartorial choices.
Sir if they want to pay respects to the culture of our country why should one be disturbed. It’s a moment they want to enjoy with India and that’s it. https://t.co/BJDeZQAfFm

All those criticising @JustinTrudeau 4 making that extra effort 2 adopt Indian ways n clothes should really be ashamed of themselves.

Absolutely love it. Shows the respect they have for the country they are visiting. We may not dress like this everyday but no harm in them doing this for a few days :)

I'm not sure what's all the fuss about. Obviously, someone else has created their wardrobe. They have trusted that advice and despite some of it being over the top, I think it's nice of them to wear it. In any case, I think they're all looking really good. Get over it.
