Ahead of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s official visit to India, Ottawa has publicly stated that it no longer believes India is connected to violent crimes on Canadian soil — a marked shift from its predecessor’s stance amid years of diplomatic strain. Canadian officials said there is now “robust diplomatic engagement” and expressed confidence that alleged foreign interference or repression linked to India is not continuing. The move comes as Carney prepares to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi to deepen economic, security and strategic ties after tensions following the 2023 killing of Canadian citizen Hardeep Singh Nijjar, which had sparked a significant bilateral row.
