Mark Carney Hails Improving India Relations
Canadian would-be Prime Minister Mark Carney has reaffirmed the improvement of relations with India. During a media interview prior to today's Canadian federal elections, Carney stated that he would prioritize fixing the strained relation established during Justin Trudeau's regime. He mentioned that Canada needs good relations with India on a personal, economic, and strategic level. If elected, Carney vowed that he would engage New Delhi strongly to resolve past controversies and deepen cooperation.
Magnifying Economic Partnerships
Carney echoed his belief that India and Canada could be at the forefront of outlining a new global economy. Carney indicated that the current tensions in global trade are a great opportunity for nations like India and Canada to unite. Confident of his party's performance, Carney predicted a majority government in today's elections. Carney also promised to move with utmost speed to further enhance trade ties, not only with India but with other nations as well who are like-minded.
Background: Current Tensions in India-Canada Relations
India and Canada have had strong diplomatic and trade relations for decades. Their relations have recently taken a turn for the worse after former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused Indian agents of having committed the assassination of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. India denied this accusation outright, and tensions increased along with diplomatic and economic interactions between the two nations.
Possible Bilateral Relations Shift
With Mark Carney's leadership probably becoming more pro-India, experts anticipate that the relations between Canada and India may become significantly improved. Carney's policy has been considered a step towards improvement in building confidence and cooperation between the two countries.
Canada Votes Today
Today, April 28, Canadians go to the polls. Although the Liberal Party had trailed the Conservative Party previously, recent polls show a resounding comeback. According to recent figures, the Liberal Party now has approximately 43.7% support compared to 36.3% for the Conservatives. If the trend continues, the Liberals are poised to win a decisive majority in the 343-seat Canadian Parliament.
