 Canada and India hold talks to strengthen ties on trade and technology

Canada and India have taken significant steps toward rebuilding diplomatic and economic ties after two years of strained relations. Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar in New Delhi to outline a roadmap for renewed cooperation in key sectors, including trade, investment, agriculture, science, technology, civil nuclear collaboration, artificial intelligence, critical minerals, and energy. The meeting, part of Anand’s visit through Tuesday, focused on reestablishing stability in the partnership through mutual respect, strengthened people-to-people connections, and economic collaboration.

Tensions between the two countries had escalated in 2023 following the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian Sikh activist linked to the Khalistan movement, which advocates for an independent Sikh homeland in India’s Punjab region. After then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused India of involvement in Nijjar’s death, both nations expelled diplomats, freezing dialogue. The current thaw began under Prime Minister Mark Carney, who met Modi at the G7 summit in June, paving the way for renewed engagement. Since then, both nations have appointed new high commissioners and held additional talks during the UN General Assembly in September. The latest meeting resulted in an agreement to resume ministerial-level discussions on trade and investment, signaling a turning point toward normalized relations. The renewed dialogue comes as India also faces heightened trade tensions with the United States after President Donald Trump imposed 50% tariffs on Indian imports in response to New Delhi’s continued oil purchases from Russia. Canada’s growing Indian diaspora, now numbering nearly 1.7 million, underscores the deep cultural and economic links at stake in restoring this vital relationship.
