Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Canada for the first time in a decade, heading to Kananaskis to attend the G7 Summit. This visit depicts a strategic effort to mend India-Canada relations, which deteriorated over the pro-Khalistani separatist issue.
Amidst global tensions and a significant policy shift with the Canadian leadership, Modi's participation in the summit, where he will engage with leaders of top economies, aims to focus on issues like energy security, technology, AI, and quantum advancements. His visit also includes crucial bilateral meetings on the sidelines to foster diplomacy.
With Canada under new leadership, this visit is seen as a timely move to explore renewed pathways for Indo-Canadian partnerships, especially in the realms of trade and strategic alliances, following recent strains that led to diplomatic face-offs and pauses in bilateral communication channels.
