Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Embarks on Strategic Trade Mission to India
As Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney sets out on a significant visit to India, the Canadian government is signaling a shift in its diplomatic approach. Following years of strained relations, Canada seeks to rejuvenate ties with India and diversify trade efforts away from reliance on the United States. Amidst a backdrop of mixed sentiments, including concerns about threats faced by Sikh activists and allegations of foreign interference, Carney aims to foster commercial partnerships and explore various deals, including the inception of free trade talks. As the visit unfolds, officials assure that previous links connecting India to violent crime against Canadians have diminished, allowing for a renewed focus on economic collaboration and strategic rebalancing in the Indo-Pacific region.
