India and Canada Advance Trade Talks Amid Improved Diplomatic Relations
India and Canada are improving diplomatic and trade relations after a period of tension marked by disputes during Justin Trudeau's tenure, including the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The change in Canadian leadership to Prime Minister Mark Carney has led to renewed engagement, with ongoing negotiations for a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) expected to conclude by the end of 2026. Both countries are advancing security dialogues and planning high-level visits, though concerns over the Khalistan issue remain a sensitive point in the relationship.
