Ahead of Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit, Canada has turned a new page in its ties with India, which hit rock bottom in recent years under his predecessor, Justin Trudeau.
The main flashpoint was Trudeau’s allegation of India’s involvement in the killing of Canadian citizen Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was designated a terrorist by New Delhi in 2020 over Khalistani extremism.
Now, reversing his predecessor’s approach, the Mark Carney government says India has no role in violent crimes on Canadian soil.
Senior Canadian officials have said Ottawa is no longer concerned about interference or repression by Indian agents.
“I really don’t think we’d be taking this trip if we thought these kinds of activities were continuing,” a senior Canadian official was quoted as saying by the Toronto Star.
