Canada aims to mend ties with India and China amid tensions.
Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand is on a diplomatic mission to strengthen ties with India and China amid ongoing tensions with both nations. Following a breakdown in trade discussions and strained relations, exacerbated by allegations against India regarding the murder of a Sikh separatist, Canada seeks to normalize its diplomatic stance by appointing new ambassadors and fostering intelligence-sharing agreements. Anand emphasized the importance of a gradual approach to rebuild relations, stating that significant diplomatic progress has been made since 2023. The broader implications of these efforts are crucial as Canada aims to balance its foreign policy interests amid complex geopolitical dynamics involving the U.S. and China, while prioritizing economic cooperation and trade opportunities.
