PM Modi & Mark Carney move to restore diplomatic services
At the ongoing G7 Summit, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met to address the strained relations between the two countries and explore steps toward rebuilding diplomatic engagement.
During the talks, both leaders agreed to resume regular diplomatic services, including the appointment of high commissioners, marking an important move toward restoring formal communication channels after a prolonged period of tensions.
The discussions also covered a wide range of areas of cooperation, such as trade, investment, clean energy, artificial intelligence, security cooperation, counter-terrorism efforts, and issues related to transnational repression.
Both sides emphasized the need to rebuild trust and reopen structured dialogue, following a phase in which relations had significantly deteriorated during the tenure of former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Officials from both countries described the meeting as a positive signal of renewed willingness to engage constructively, with a focus on strengthening economic and strategic ties amid evolving global challenges.
The meeting is being viewed as an initial step that could pave the way for further diplomatic engagement and high-level exchanges between India and Canada in the coming months.
