Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand is expected to meet her Indian counterpart, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, in the coming weeks, a report with Bloomberg has claimed.

During an interview, Anita Anand said domestic public safety is the top priority for her country’s government. She added that Canada’s national security adviser just met with her Indian counterpart, and the two discussed transnational repression.

“We will continue to stay on top of it for the benefit of the safety and security of the Canadian public," Anand was quoted as saying.

The report also suggested that Anita will be meeting her Chinese counterpart, too, as she said that Canada must “ensure we have a bilateral relationship with significant economic powers in the Indo-Pacific."

Anita Anand last spoke with EAM Jaishankar in May this year, when they both spoke about the prospects of strengthening India-Canada ties.

During the phone call, Anita Anand, who was then recently appointed as the Foreign Minister of Canada under the Mark Carney administration, expressed her gratitude towards Jaishankar for the discussion on strengthening India-Canada relations. She further added that she was looking forward to continuing to work together.

The India-Canada ties had been strained after former Prime Minister Justin Truedau accused the Indian government of being involved in the killing of NIA designated terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

The allegation was strongly denied as malicious by the Indian government.
