Prime Minister Narendra Modi ended a "productive" Canadian visit, his first in a decade, after attending the G7 Summit in Kananaskis. Thanking the Canadian government and people, PM Modi reflected on the summit's success in generating conversation on global matters, focusing on India's devotion to peace, prosperity, and sustainability.
In a significant step toward mending bilateral relations, PM Modi held a "positive and constructive" meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. The talks, aimed at resetting ties strained by former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau’s allegations regarding the killing of a Khalistani terrorist, resulted in an agreement to restore full diplomatic relations and appoint new high commissioners.
Concluding a productive Canada visit. Thankful to the Canadian people and Government for hosting a successful G7 Summit, which witnessed fruitful discussions on diverse global issues. We remain committed to furthering global peace, prosperity and sustainability.
