Speaking to Indian diaspora members at a local restaurant in Calgary, Mr. Carney said that PM Modi’s visit will be “largely in Toronto”, indicating that Mr. Modi ‘s visit will extend beyond the official bilateral meetings in Ottawa. According to sources Mr. Modi will address a diaspora event in Toronto, as he had during his last bilateral visit in 2015.
