India's foreign minister said he had spoken to his Canadian counterpart as the two sides seek to ease fraught relations.
The telephone call, which took place late May 25, is the highest diplomatic contact between Ottawa and New Delhi since Mark Carney became Canadian prime minster in March.
Ties between Canada and India were strained following accusations of New Delhi's involvement in the 2023 assassination of a Canadian Sikh. India has denied these claims.
India's Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said he had "discussed the prospects of India-Canada ties" with newly appointed Foreign Minister Anita Anand and he had "wished her a very successful tenure".
Anand, whose parents hailed from India, said on X she looked forward "strengthening Canada–India ties, deepening our economic cooperation, and advancing shared priorities".
Canada will host the G7 summit next month.
India Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been invited to attend previous summits since 2019, when France invited him to Biarritz. There are no details as to whether Modi has been invited to Canada.
Thank you Minister @DrSJaishankar for the productive discussion today on strengthening Canada–India ties, deepening our economic cooperation, and advancing shared priorities. I look forward to continuing our work together. pic.twitter.com/GZqgANEIVi
