While a final word is still to be said about the impending visit of the Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to India in the coming weeks, the foreign ministers of the two countries—Anita Indira Anand and Subramanyam Jaishankar—met for the fifth time since September last year.
They met on the margins of the Munich Security Conference in Germany. While Mark Carney deferred his visit to Germany after the gruesome Tumbler Ridge tragedy, nothing has been said about his planned visits to India and Australia.
