PM Modi likely to visit Canada in December: What’s on agenda as Carney eyes India-Canada trade deal around G20
Canadian PM Carney said India had, to his understanding, confirmed tha Prime Minister Narendra Modi would visit Canada around that time, though the precise date had not been finalized, news agency AP said.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney revealed that trade negotiations with India are proceeding well and anticipate a possible visit by India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Canada in December around the G20 summit. Carney stated that the two countries are aiming to finalize the talks by the G20 summit on December 14-15 at the Trump National Doral in Miami.
Canada and India have been working towards concluding a comprehensive trade agreement since March, with both countries committing to finalize negotiations by the end of 2026. The reset in India-Canada relations comes after a diplomatic rupture over the 2023 killing of Canadian Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia.
Carney has been proactive in rebuilding ties, with his visit to India earlier this year being the first bilateral visit by a Canadian prime minister since 2018. The three economies - India, Canada, and Mexico, with a combined economic output of over $8 trillion, are seeking to diversify their commercial ties, particularly as they grapple with disruptions caused by US trade policies.
