Relations between the two countries broke down in 2024, after Canada accused India of involvement in the assassination of a Sikh separatist
India and Canada have agreed to return ambassadors to each other’s capitals, turning the page on a bitter spat over an assassination, as Canada’s new leader welcomed his counterpart Narendra Modi.
Prime minister Mark Carney, who took office in March, invited Modi to the Canadian Rockies as a guest at the summit of the Group of Seven major economies.
Carney’s predecessor Justin Trudeau last year publicly accused India of involvement in the assassination of a Sikh separatist on Canadian soil and expelled the Indian ambassador, triggering a furious reciprocal response from India.
Carney and Modi agreed that the two countries would name new high commissioners, as ambassadors are known between Commonwealth nations.
