Event Summary

Diplomatic relations between Canada and India have significantly improved after Canada — Royal Canadian Mounted Police Commissioner Mike Duheme stated there are no longer clandestine activities or transnational repression linked to the government of India in Canada. This statement follows years of strained relations, which began in 2023 when then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleged a potential Indian link to the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Puri. India dismissed these accusations as 'absurd' and diplomatic tensions escalated with mutual expulsions of diplomats in 2024. The election of Liberal Party leader Mark Carney as Prime Minister of Canada in April 2025 marked a turning point, leading to efforts to reset relations. Both Canada and India have since reinstated their high commissioners, and Prime Minister Mark Carney's recent visit to India resulted in key agreements on Uranium and critical minerals, with a commitment to finalize a comprehensive economic partnership agreement.
