NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Canada on December 11 and 12, signalling a fresh push to rebuild bilateral ties between New Delhi and Ottawa. The visit comes after a prolonged period of diplomatic strain between the two countries. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has confirmed the dates, with both sides looking to expand engagement.
Trade is expected to remain a key focus, along with energy, technology and security cooperation. India and Canada are also working towards a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement aimed at widening economic opportunities.
Modi’s visit could provide a major political boost to the renewed dialogue and help both countries move beyond past differences. The proposed trip is being viewed as an important step towards strengthening strategic and economic relations.
