India and Canada are close to "firming up" the dates of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's visit to New Delhi, Canadian High Commissioner Nadir Patel said today.

Speaking on the sidelines of the launch of the first joint Indo-Canada postal stamp here, Patel said three ministers of the Trudeau government will be visiting India in the next few months.

Asked when Trudeau was expected to visit India, Patel said: "We are close to firming up the dates. We cannot share the specific dates but it is expected in the coming months."

The stamp was launched by Patel, who is of Indian origin, with Secretary, Department of Posts, A N Nanda. It commemorates the festival of Diwali.
 

Patel said the "historic collaboration" between the two countries with regards to the stamp began in December last, when the CEO of Canada Post visited India.

"It really is a reflection of the best that India and Canada have to offer. It goes much beyond a stamp release," he said.
