Mumbai, Feb 21 (IBNS): Meeting with business leaders in Mumbai on Tuesday, Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau has welcomed more than $1 billion in investments between Canadian and Indian companies, which will lead to the creation of more than 5,800 good, well-paying middle class jobs for Canadians.

These investments will grow Canada’s economy, encourage innovation and entrepreneurship, and see increased collaboration in several key sectors, including infrastructure, information technology, aerospace, clean technology, film production, and research and development, read a statement issued by the Canadian government on Wednesday.

Later in the day, the Prime Minister participated in a women’s leadership roundtable and met with a number of business executives to discuss how Canadians and Indians can benefit from new opportunities to cooperate in the global economy and promote women’s economic empowerment.

He then participated in an armchair discussion at the Canada-India Business Forum before attending an event with members of the Indian film industry and a reception with business and community leaders.

“As one of the world’s fastest growing economies, India offers exciting opportunities for Canadian businesses of all sizes. The partnerships announced today will create thousands of good, middle class jobs for Canadians, and are further proof of the ever-growing ties between our two countries," Justin Trudeau said.

In Mumbai, he also met Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

Speaking on the meet, Justin Trudeau tweeted: " Talking about investment and economic growth with the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, @Dev_Fadnavis. My thanks for our very warm welcome in Mumbai as we build an even stronger relationship."
