On October 13, 2025, India and Canada unveiled a roadmap to strengthen India-Canada Relations. The agreement followed talks in New Delhi.
Foreign Ministers Meet
Canada’s Foreign Minister Anita Anand met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar. They aimed to rebuild India-Canada Relations.
Trade Collaboration Focus
Both nations agreed to cooperate on critical minerals, trade, and agriculture. This strengthens India-Canada Relations amid global tariff challenges.
Economic Opportunities
The roadmap enhances economic ties. “It mitigates risks from shifting global alliances,” a joint statement noted, boosting India-Canada Relations significantly.
Past Tensions
India-Canada Relations strained in 2023 after Canada accused India of involvement in a Sikh separatist’s killing. India denied the claims.
Mutual Accusations
India accused Canada of supporting separatist groups. The dispute over the Khalistan movement had chilled India-Canada Relations for nearly two years.
Diplomatic Thaw
In June 2025, Canada’s new Prime Minister Mark Carney hosted Modi at the G7 summit. This helped restore India-Canada Relations.
Canada’s Sikh Community
Canada hosts a large Sikh population, some supporting an independent Khalistan state. India views this as a challenge to India-Canada Relations.
Trade Significance
India is Canada’s top source of temporary workers and students. Canada exports pulses like lentils, vital for India-Canada Relations.
Path Forward
The roadmap signals renewed trust. India-Canada Relations aim to foster mutual growth through shared economic and diplomatic goals in 2025.
Global Context
Both nations seek to diversify trade away from the U.S. The agreement positions India-Canada Relations to navigate global economic shifts effectively.
