Prime Minister Stephen Harper met with Indian government officials and businessmen in an effort to boost trade relations between Canada and India.
Those trade talks included discussion about a possible nuclear co-operation deal, one that could see a resumption of sales of nuclear equipment to India. Canada's nuclear trade with the country stalled in 1974, when India tested its first atomic weapon with the unauthorized help of Canadian nuclear technology.
The trip also allowed Harper to promote his image back home, with visits to holy temples and an appearance alongside Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar and contestants on the reality show Dance Premier League.
Harper is scheduled to return to Canada on Thursday morning.
What do you think of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's trip? Was it successful? Or is it too early to tell?
