Overview
- India’s National Security Adviser Ajit Doval met David Morrison, a senior advisor to the Canadian prime minister, in New Delhi to strengthen cooperation in security and law enforcement.
- Indian officials flagged concerns about pro‑Khalistani elements operating from Canadian territory and sought concrete steps to address those diaspora‑linked security risks.
- Both sides focused the discussions on practical, operational coordination between police and security agencies rather than on reopening the political accusations that fractured relations.
- The talks follow a recent thaw in ties after Canada re‑posted high commissioners and the two governments agreed to revive bilateral mechanisms to manage shared security issues.
- The meeting comes against a backdrop of the 2023 Nijjar allegation and reciprocal diplomatic expulsions in 2024, and it signals a shift from diplomatic acrimony toward pragmatic engagement on policing and public safety.
