“For me to be able to be here on an official trip while bringing my kids with me to share this is really special and being able to enjoy this as a dad with my kids is really nice,” he was quoted as saying.

While Trudeau is scheduled to meet political and business leaders in India, his wife Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, a former journalist and an active philanthropist, is also going to visit Nutrition International, a Canadian NGO working on malnutrition problems in India and other Asian and African countries.
