Canada’s Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan to visit New Delhi this month

Canada’s defence minister Harjit Sajjan, the highest-profile Indo-Canadian in the Justin Trudeau government, is expected to travel to New Delhi this month.

With Sajjan’s trip, all the four Indian-origin members of the Canadian cabinet would have visited India since their appointment as ministers. The last one to come calling was small business and tourism minister Bardish Chagger, who completed her official visit to India last week.

Sajjan’s visit and schedule have yet to be formally announced, but if it does occur, he will also be the fifth Canadian Minister to be in India just this year, and the eighth within the span of only nine months, upping the intensity of the bilateral dialogue process.
