India, Canada Will Try To Reset Ties At G7 Summit

NEW DELHI (IANS)– India and Canada are set to explore pathways for resetting their relationship at the G7 Summit in Kananaskis. Prime Minister Narendra Modi accepted the invitation from his Canadian counterpart, Mark Carney, signaling a mutual desire to move past recent diplomatic strains.

The summit, hosted by Canada from June 15 to 17, will provide a crucial opportunity for the leaders to discuss bilateral and global issues.

Randhir Jaiswal, Spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs confirmed, stating it was an occasion for both Prime Ministers to reflect on and advance India-Canada relations.

Relations between India and Canada faced challenges in 2023 following charges made by Carney’s predecessor, Justin Trudeau, against New Delhi. India has consistently expressed concern over Canada’s alleged tolerance of extremism and inaction against attacks on its diplomats.

Prime Minister Modi conveyed his positive outlook on X, stating, “Glad to receive a call from Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada… As vibrant democracies bound by deep people-to-people ties, India and Canada will work together with renewed vigour, guided by mutual respect and shared interests.” (Courtesy: https://indiawest.com/)
