Overview
- India’s high commissioner says Prime Minister Mark Carney has been invited to New Delhi early next year, with attendance at February’s AI Action Summit offered as a venue for talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
- A bilateral meeting between Carney and Modi is being discussed for the G20 summit in Johannesburg on November 22–23, according to Indian media reports.
- India may allow Canada to rebuild its diplomatic presence to roughly pre-October 2024 levels, with the process to start once Ottawa submits proposed names, a senior Indian official said.
- During Anita Anand’s recent visit to New Delhi, both countries signed a joint declaration on law enforcement and rule of law, and Indian agencies are now exchanging information with the RCMP and CSIS.
- New Delhi is pressing to restart formal trade negotiations, saying a far-reaching deal could lift annual commerce toward $50 billion, while the RCMP’s findings linking Indian agents to violent acts remain disputed by India.
