NEW DELHI — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will chat briefly Sunday with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the margins of the G20 summit, where he's expected to raise concerns about foreign meddling in Canada's politics.
The Canadian delegation sought a meeting with Modi during the annual meeting of the world's largest economies, but Sunday's 10-minute meeting wasn't confirmed until after Trudeau landed Friday in New Delhi.
Trudeau vowed Friday that he would raise the issue of foreign interference if granted a face-to-face meeting with Modi. "It is incredibly important that we continue to protect Canadians from any and all types of interference," he said. The officials were forced to remain behind following stops in Indonesia and Singapore. A spokesperson for the prime minister would not provide further comment to respect the privacy of the individuals. Trudeau has tested negative.
The Indian government sees it as an extremist movement that endangers national security, and has long accused Canada of harbouring extremists. Ottawa has maintained that freedom of speech means groups can voice political opinions so long as they are not violent.
