Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his wife Laureen visited Rajghat in New Delhi, where they laid a wreath on Mahatma Gandhi's memorial.
Two 14-year-olds representing the two countries -- Canadian Jeane STE-Marie and Indian Hartej Singh carried the wreath from the entrance to the memorial.
'It's a great honor to be here at the memorial for such a great Indian and model for all humanity. Blessed be Gandhi's memory. Peace be on Earth.'
Laureen also signed the visitors' book.
Harper was presented with several books on Gandhi and a life-size copper bust of Gandhi.
