The event is being held at the Presidential House, where Akshay will also host the proceedings on four issues that will be addressed, 'Clean energy, India-Canada bilateral trade and economy strategy issues, and the way forward'.
Incidentally, the actor has been holidaying in Canada with his wife Twinkle and son Aarav since he went there to shoot for Anees Bazmee's Thank You, and was more than glad to accept the Canadian PM's invite. Early this year, Harper had asked Akshay to be the torchbearer for the 2010 winter Olympics. A source close to the actor says, "When Harper spoke to Akshay about his involvement in the Olympics, he immediately agreed, and they were very happy with his participation. So he was an obvious choice this time."
While Akshay was unavailable for comment, the source adds, "Akshay is very happy and considers this invite very prestigious."
