External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar spoke with his Canadian counterpart Anita Anand through a telephonic conversation and discussed strengthening the relationship between the two countries. In a social media post, Dr. Jaishankar wished the Canadian Minister for Foreign Affairs a very successful tenure. Meanwhile, the Canadian Minister, in her social media post, thanked Dr. Jaishankar for the productive discussion on strengthening bilateral ties, deepening economic cooperation, and advancing shared priorities.
