Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has signed a deal to buy more than 3000 tonnes of Canadian uranium over the next five years to fuel his country's power reactors.
The contract comes as Modi opens the first full day of his visit to Canada.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said on Wednesday it showed the commitment of the two countries to expand trade.
The uranium deal with Canada's Cameco Corp is one of a number of agreements signed on Wednesday, including pledges to co-operate in the areas of civil aviation, rail transport and education and skills development.
Modi's trip is the first bilateral visit to Canada by an Indian prime minister since Indira Gandhi in 1973.
