Prime Minister Modi and Prime Minister Carney will also attend the India-Canada CEOs Forum this afternoon. The visit comes at an important juncture in the normalization of India-Canada bilateral relations. The two prime ministers have earlier agreed to pursue a constructive and balanced partnership grounded in mutual respect for each other’s concerns and sensitivities, strong people-to-people ties, and growing economic complementarities.
Earlier in the day, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar called on Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney ahead of the visiting leader’s bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Following their meeting, Jaishankar said, “Delighted to call on Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada in New Delhi this morning. Appreciate his commitment toward charting a forward-looking partnership.”
Carney, accompanied by his wife, Diana Fox Carney, arrived in Mumbai on Feb. 27 for his first official visit to India from Feb. 27 to March 2.
He arrived in New Delhi on March 2. Following his arrival, he took to X and said, “Arrived in New Delhi to meet with Prime Minister Modi. Canada and India are two confident and ambitious nations that want to build boldly together. We’re forging new partnerships in energy, talent and innovation, and AI to create greater security and prosperity for our peoples.”
