Canada No Longer Links India To Violent Crimes
Ahead of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s scheduled trip to India, Canadian officials clarified that there is no current assessment linking the Indian government to violent criminal activity in Canada.

Officials said continued dialogue between security agencies and diplomatic channels has contributed to improved confidence and communication between the two countries.
Mark Carney India Visit Signals Diplomatic Reset
Mark Carney’s upcoming India visit is expected to focus on rebuilding trust and strengthening cooperation in trade, technology, and security. Canadian authorities described the visit as part of a broader effort to stabilise bilateral relations and pursue pragmatic engagement. Diplomatic exchanges between the two nations have gradually resumed after a period of reduced contact and heightened tensions.
Background Of India-Canada Diplomatic Strain
Relations between India and Canada deteriorated in 2023 after allegations were made linking Indian agents to the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen. India denied the allegations, and both countries expelled diplomats during the dispute. In recent months, efforts have been made to restore communication and resume structured dialogue. The latest clarification from Ottawa appears aimed at supporting constructive engagement during the prime minister’s visit.
