Justin was there with his father Pierre Elliot Trudeau, who was Canada's premier then.

Former ministers, the late Tun Ghazali Shafie and the late Tan Sri Dr Sulaiman Daud, were also seen accompanying Dr Mahathir in the photograph.

"A pleasant gift by H.E @JuliaGBentley, a nostalgic picture of the then prime minister of Canada, H.E. Pierre Elliot Trudeau and his son H.E. @justintrudeau back in 1982," the tweet read.

It was reported that Mahathir received a courtesy visit from Bentley in Putrajaya on July 3.

The vintage photo was considered a significant moment as the two premiers crossed paths years ago.

Justin, 46, was sworn in as Canada's youngest prime minister in 2015 while Dr Mahathir is Malay­sia's and the world's oldest premier.
