India, Canada ties have 'energised', says PM Modi as Mark Carney marks first visit

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is currently on a four-day visit to India, marking a significant step in the efforts to diversify trade relations between Canada and India. During this visit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized that the bilateral ties have been revitalized, highlighting the importance of cooperation in various sectors. As Canada seeks to strengthen its economic partnerships beyond traditional allies, this engagement with India is seen as a strategic move. The visit includes discussions on trade, investment, and climate change, aligning with both nations' goals of sustainable development. Carney's itinerary is expected to involve meetings with Indian business leaders and officials, underscoring the potential for collaboration in technology, clean energy, and other emerging industries. This renewed focus on India is a part of Canada’s broader strategy to establish itself as a key player in the Indo-Pacific region, signaling a commitment to fostering deeper economic connections with one of the world’s fastest-growing economies.
