Jaishankar and Canada’s Anand Discuss Bilateral Cooperation and Shared Goals in Manila
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand in Manila during ASEAN-related engagements to discuss bilateral cooperation and shared goals. The talks covered strategic areas including maritime security, defence, and trade. Both leaders emphasized advancing objectives set by their prime ministers. The meeting followed the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's statement finding no evidence linking Indian officials to the 2023 killing of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, though it was unclear if this issue was discussed. Relations had previously been strained over allegations and diplomatic expulsions.
