Firstpost #FirstpostNews: Canada Eyes Fresh Start in Trade Talks With India | N18G

Canada and India are moving to revive trade ties after a two-year diplomatic freeze, with Ottawa signalling its readiness to restart negotiations under “a new process,” Canadian Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu said on Thursday (November 13).

Sidhu, on a three-day visit to India, met Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal for what he called a productive discussion focused on expanding cooperation in critical minerals, clean energy, agriculture and artificial intelligence.

The visit marks the most significant high-level trade engagement since Canada halted talks on a comprehensive trade agreement in 2023, after ties deteriorated when Ottawa accused New Delhi of involvement in the killing of a Canadian Sikh separatist.

Despite tensions, India remains a priority market for Canada. Bilateral goods and services trade reached an estimated $31 billion in 2024, with Canada’s services exports accounting for about $16 billion of that total.
