Modi and Carney meet to reset India-Canada ties after tense two years
The leaders of India and Canada on Tuesday held their first bilateral meeting since then-Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused New Delhi in 2023 of involvement in the killing of a Canadian Sikh separatist.
Relations have been poor for almost two years but there was no sign of tension when Prime Minister Mark Carney warmly welcomed Indian counterpart Narendra Modi to the Group of Seven summit he is chairing in Alberta.
India denied Canada's allegations of involvement in the murder, and both nations are looking to shore up global partnerships as trade tensions and wars are recasting long-standing alliances.
Carney has previously said he invited India, which is not a G7 member, due to its importance in global supply chains.
'It is my great honour to have you here,' Carney told Modi, saying their meeting was a 'testament to the importance of your country' and the issues they needed to tackle together.
These included energy security, artificial intelligence, and the fights 'against terrorism' and against transnational repression.

India will never restore Indus water treaty with Pakistan, Shah says
India will never restore the Indus Waters Treaty with Islamabad, and the water flowing to Pakistan will be diverted for internal use, Home Minister Amit Shah said in an interview on Saturday. India put into 'abeyance' its participation in the 1960 treaty, which governs the usage of the Indus river system, after 26 civilians in Indian Kashmir were killed in what Delhi described as an act of terror. The treaty had guaranteed water access for 80 per cent of Pakistan's farms through three rivers originating in India. Pakistan has denied involvement in the incident, but the accord remains dormant despite a ceasefire agreed upon by the two nuclear-armed neighbours last month following their worst fighting in decades. 'No, it will never be restored,' Shah said. 'We will take water that was flowing to Pakistan to Rajasthan by constructing a canal. Pakistan will be starved of water that it has been getting unjustifiably,' Shah said, referring to the northwestern Indian state.

‘We're not billiard balls': how China's EU charm offensive fell flat
For half a year, a heated debate has raged over whether US President Donald Trump 's return to office would push Europe and China closer together. Pragmatists, realpolitikers and Beijing's allies argued that the EU could not afford a trade war with both of the world's largest economies while footing the bill for a hot war in Ukraine For months, EU leaders fuelled the speculation by voicing openness to deeper trade ties with Beijing, in a dramatic rhetorical shift from the previous three years of hostilities. But the debate appears to have been settled this week with a resounding 'no'. Behind-the-scenes impatience with China's failure to put any meat on the bones of a much-vaunted charm offensive has spilled into the public realm. Brussels, staggered by Beijing's failure to move even an inch on its trade gripes, has had enough. 'The current global trading system is not working as it should. Guard rails are clearly missing. On this point, Donald is right,' said Ursula von der Leyen at this week's G7 summit in Canada , referring to China's accession to the World Trade Organization in 2001 as 'the biggest challenge' facing the global order.

Will India and Canada move beyond ‘past rancour' and normalise ties quickly?
The move by India and Canada to reinstate high commissioners in each other's capitals marks an important step towards mending their frayed relationship after the 2023 killing of a Sikh separatist leader in British Columbia. Following a meeting between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Canadian counterpart Mark Carney on the sidelines of this week's Group of Seven summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, both countries issued separate statements to pledge their commitment to strengthening bilateral ties. Analysts said the diplomatic move, which could bring about an easing of travel and visa restrictions and pave the way for deeper engagement in other areas, reflected a shared desire by Modi and Carney to move past the acrimony of the past two years. Modi described his talks with Carney as 'excellent', saying in a post on social media platform X that both leaders 'look forward to working closely to add momentum to the India–Canada friendship'. He identified trade, energy, space and critical minerals as areas of potential cooperation. A statement from Carney's office said the two leaders had agreed on the need to strengthen relations based on mutual respect, the rule of law and recognition of each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The positive tone arising from the meeting between Modi and Carney was a far cry from the nadir in the two countries' relationship in 2023 over the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen and the leader of a Sikh separatist movement in India. An accusation by former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau that Indian agents were allegedly involved in the killing prompted a tit-for-tat expulsion of diplomats from both sides.
