Stephen Harper

TORONTO: Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper will visit India next month, his maiden official trip to the country during which the two sides are expected to finalise a civil nuclear deal and ink a major economic treaty besides exploring ways to lower trade barriers.

Mr. Harper will deliberate on a range of bilateral issues with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

He will pay a three-day visit to India from November 16 after participating in a two-day Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Singapore, the Prime Minister’s Office said on Thursday. This will be followed by a visit to China from December 2 to December 6.

Dr. Singh and Mr. Harper are also expected to talk about establishing a Canada-India Free Trade Agreement or smaller steps that would help lower trade barriers.

Mr. Harper is also likely to visit Mumbai and may consider going to Chennai or Hyderabad. — PTI
