New Delhi witnessed a meeting between Indian NSA Ajit Doval and his Canadian counterpart David Morrison, aimed at advancing bilateral security and law enforcement cooperation. This discussion came amid ongoing efforts to finalize a trade agreement between the two nations, with India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi slated to visit Ottawa in December.
Morrison, who serves as a senior diplomatic and international affairs adviser to the Prime Minister, is currently in India as part of the fifth round of talks for the economic partnership agreement. Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand is also due to visit India shortly. During the meeting, the two sides assessed their progress in bilateral security and law enforcement cooperation and agreed to identify further areas for practical collaboration.
In February, India and Canada had previously agreed upon a roadmap for national security issues and decided to appoint liaison officers for secure and efficient information sharing regarding shared concerns, such as drug trafficking and transnational organized crime networks.
