FOREIGN Affairs Minister Melanie Joly had “a frank discussion” on Canada-India relations with Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference on Friday.

She tweeted that the two of them also discussed “the current global issues, including Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.”

Jaishankar tweeted: “Our conversation understandably focused on the present state of our bilateral ties. Was also useful to exchange views on the global situation.”

Joly is in Germany to attend the Munich Security Conference from February 16 to 18.

The Munich Security Conference, one of the world’s leading annual forums on international security and defence policy, brings together world leaders, senior politicians and leading representatives of academia, industry, non-governmental organizations and civil society to discuss current events and pressing issues related to global security.
