India's Modi meets Canada PM Trudeau amid controversy

ndian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has met his Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau, nearly a week after he arrived on his first state visit.

The meeting comes a day after Canada withdrew an invitation to an alleged Sikh extremist to attend an official dinner with Mr Trudeau in Delhi.

The Canadian PM has been fending off criticism that his government is soft on Sikh extremists.

His visit has been largely ignored by senior members of India's government.

The two leaders met at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, the presidential palace, in Delhi where they are expected to discuss trade, defence, climate change and cooperation over civil nuclear energy.
