External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand in New York on Monday to discuss strengthening diplomatic ties. Jaishankar described the meeting as positive and welcomed the recent High Commissioner appointments as crucial for rebuilding relations. He expressed eagerness to welcome his Indian-origin counterpart to India soon. India-Canada relations deteriorated after former PM Justin Trudeau alleged Indian government involvement in Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar's 2023 killing, which India strongly denied. The diplomatic crisis saw envoy recalls and diplomat expulsions. However, ties improved after Liberal Party leader Mark Carney became Prime Minister in April. At June's G7 summit, Modi and Carney agreed on constructive steps, including early envoy returns. (PC: X/@ANI)
