Datanomics: India, Canada look to reset frosty economic relations

The two countries unveiled a roadmap to bring their relations on track by focusing on trade, investment and people-to-people ties

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar recently held meetings with Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand, which could have the potential to reset the India-Canada ties that have been faltering for two years now. The two countries unveiled a road map to bring relations back on track through a focus on trade, investment and people-to-people ties. A diplomatic spat emerged between the two after the then-Canadian PM Justin Trudeau accused India of killing a Khalistani separatist, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, in September 2023.
