Air India families request urgent meeting with Canada's public safety minister

The families of some Air India bombing victims have requested a meeting with minister Gary Anandasangaree after learning the RCMP has no more leads in Canada's deadliest terrorist attack

India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be visiting Canada in December, according to Carney, who said the two countries are making significant progress on a new trade agreement. The bilateral tensions have eased recently following the 2023 killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Sikh activist who pushed for a separate state of Khalistan, in Vancouver.

Canada's former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau blamed India for the assassination, a claim India rejected. Both nations expelled diplomats in 2024. Carney, who took Trudeau's place last year, has been advocating for a reconciliation, asserting that Canada requires access to the vast Indian market to diversify its trade ties and lessen its reliance on the US.

Speaking at the UN, Carney disclosed that Modi and he aim to finalize a new trade deal in mid-December. He expressed his anticipation of hosting Modi and emphasized their strong relationship across various dimensions.
