long article 6 min

In February 2026, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is traveling to India to strengthen diplomatic and economic ties between the two countries. The trip aims to reset relations following a diplomatic freeze in 2023 after Canada alleged Indian involvement in the killing of a Sikh activist. Carney seeks to diversify Canada's export markets beyond the United States, with India presenting a potentially large market for Canadian petroleum and natural gas. Analysts note that overcoming diplomatic tensions and addressing concerns about export costs will be crucial for building stronger economic bonds. The visit follows improved relations, including India's invitation to the G7 summit and the appointment of new diplomats.
