Mark Carney's upcoming trip to India aims to improve diplomatic relations and strengthen trade ties between Canada and the world's fourth-largest economy. The visit, part of a broader regional tour, signals a mutual desire to prioritize economic cooperation after a downturn in relations in 2023. Canada seeks to diversify its trade and reduce reliance on the US market through this outreach. Relations soured after Canada alleged Indian involvement in the killing of a Sikh separatist, leading to diplomatic expulsions and stalled trade talks. Despite lingering sensitivities, both countries recognize the importance of restoring a functional relationship, as demonstrated by the restoration of consular operations agreed upon in June 2023.
