Ottawa, May 26: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Sunday had a telephonic conversation with his Canadian counterpart Anita Anand and the two leaders discussed strengthening the relationship between the two countries.

Indo-Canadian Anand, 58, was appointed as Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs earlier this month in a Cabinet reshuffle announced by Prime Minister Mark Carney almost two weeks after his Liberal Party won the federal elections.
