  "summary": "Canada is leading a trade delegation to India with nearly 300 business delegates, marking the largest delegation to India in over 30 years. The mission, which focuses on sectors such as aerospace, clean energy, technology, life sciences, agri-food, and forestry, aims to explore partnerships and advance negotiations on a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between the two countries. Canadian International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu emphasized that the delegation would work towards building new partnerships and expanding commercial ties with India, which has a population of over 1.4 billion people and is a rapidly growing major economy. The visit comes as both countries strive to enhance market access and strengthen bilateral economic engagement, with the goal of more than doubling bilateral trade to USD 70 billion by 2030.",
