Indian PM Narendra Modi and Canadian PM Mark Carney met on June 17 at the G7 summit in Kananaskis, their first bilateral since 2023’s fallout over the killing of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Carney described Nijjar’s death as a “sensitive legal matter” and stressed the need for careful law‑enforcement dialogue and cooperation amid ongoing judicial proceedings. The leaders agreed to reappoint high commissioners, restore diplomatic services, and deepen cooperation on trade, labor, and global supply‑chains. Modi emphasized shared democratic values; Carney praised India’s strategic role. Despite symbolic protests from Canada’s Sikh community, the meeting marks a pragmatic reset in Canada‑India relations.
