Canada to sign nuclear cooperation agreement with India, Kenney says
Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Jason Kenney, on a visit to India, said the two countries would soon be signing a nuclear cooperation agreement. He also said visa approvals from Canadian consulates were rising, but incidents of fraud were high.
Kenney met several Ministers in the Indian government, including External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee and business leaders in Mumbai, as well as immigration staff in Canada's New Delhi and Chandigarh visa offices during a visit to India. Prior to getting to India, Kenney was in Pakistan where he met the Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, Advisor to the Prime Minister (Interior Affairs), and several others.
Responding to a question from News India Times about whether the economic slowdown provided Canada with a greater opportunity to expand relations, Kenney said Ottawa continues to place India as a priority country for economic and trade expansion.
