A breakthrough has been achieved in India-Canada relations as Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney agreed to restore full diplomatic services. The decision, announced at the G7 summit in Alberta on June 17th, aims to normalize relations after a period of strained ties. The two leaders discussed key issues, focusing on the mutual benefits that stronger relations can bring. The meeting comes after a tumultuous period in which the former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused India of involvement in the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The reestablishment of diplomatic services is anticipated to boost exchanges in various sectors, including travel, trade, and education. Prime Minister Modi highlighted the importance of cooperation in areas such as trade, energy, space, and minerals. This meeting marks a pivotal step towards healing the diplomatic rift that had developed.
