Canadian and Indian ministers signal rapid reset of ties strained by Sikh activist's killing

Tuesday, 26 May 2026, 06:24 · 1 min read

Canada and India are moving swiftly to rebuild relations that collapsed in 2023 after Canadian authorities alleged Indian involvement in the killing of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar near Vancouver — allegations New Delhi denied. Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal, visiting Ottawa on 25 May 2026 alongside India's largest-ever business delegation to Canada, said Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit to New Delhi in late February — the first by a Canadian premier in eight years — had set the two countries on a path to a "complete overhaul" of the relationship. The two sides are now aiming to finalise a free-trade agreement this year and triple bilateral trade to $50 billion by 2030, with deals already signed including a C$2.6 billion ($1.9 billion) uranium supply agreement; analysts note both countries are also motivated by a shared desire to reduce dependence on the United States.
