Prime Minister Mark Carney has invited Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Canada for an official visit later this 12 months, Carney’s office said Tuesday after the 2 leaders met on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in France.

The readout did, nevertheless, say that Carney and Modi agreed to launch negotiations on a General Security of Information Agreement, which might strengthen the exchange of classified defence and security information. Carney signed an identical agreement with France earlier this week.
