Looking forward to working together to further strengthen bilateral relations," PM Modi tweeted.

Trudeau would now require at least 13 legislators from his left-leaning rival parties to reach the ''magic number'' of 170 to form a Liberal Party-led minority government in the 338-seat House of Commons.
