Ottawa/New Delhi, Feb 22 (IBNS): Member of Parliament for Brampton North, Ruby Sahota, is on the last leg of her week-long India visit with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The visit, alongside Trudeau, five Cabinet Ministers, the Brampton Members of Parliament and other MPs began on February 17.

Trudeau's visit is scheduled to end on Feb 23.

MP Sahota’s visit – which includes stops in New Delhi, Jandali, Patiala, Amritsar, Chandigarh, Ludhiana, and Hoshiarpur – aims to provide an opportunity for her to connect with Indian leaders in government and business, promote the empowerment of women and girls, and strengthen Canada and India’s close economic ties.

During her visit, Sahota was greeted by a reception in her paternal village of Jandali.

Several people including prominent community leaders and activists of various constitutional, social and religious organizations came to greet her.

The rest of Sahota’s visit included interactions with law students at Patiala’s Punjabi University, visiting a family-run small business, inaugurating a literature festival, and visiting the Harmandir Sahib (commonly known as the Golden Temple) with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and 13 other Canadian MPs.

Sahota said: “Canada and India share a special bond, and are linked by tremendous people-to-people connections. The more than one million Canadians of Indian origin make the relationship between our two countries a truly special one".

"I look forward to building and fostering relationships to further strengthen the Canada-India friendship" she added.
