"Canadian International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu told Reuters on Thursday that he had a productive meeting with Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal in New Delhi. The meeting went really well. We focused on areas of opportunity aerospace, AI, critical minerals, energy, agriculture and what more we can do together, Sidhu, who is on a three-day trip to India, said after the talks."
"The Canadian prime minister at the time, Justin Trudeau, had said there were credible links between the government of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Hardeep Singh Nijjar's assassination in the province of British Columbia in June 2023. New Delhi vehemently denied the allegations, which prompted both governments to expel each other's diplomats. India also suspended visa services in Canada."
