US EditionCanadian Prime Minister Mark Carney visits India to restore relations and diversify away from US
Carney aims to double Canada's non-U.S. exports and restore ties with India after 2023 diplomatic tensions over allegations involving Sikh separatist leader's killing.
- On Friday, Prime Minister Mark Carney arrived in Mumbai to begin his first trip to India this week to diversify trade away from the United States and restore ties with the world's fourth-largest economy.
- The rift began in 2023 when Justin Trudeau announced credible allegations linking New Delhi to the killing of Hareep Singh Nijjar, and relations hit a low nearly 16 months ago when Trudeau and Canadian police officials accused Indian diplomats of targeting Sikh separatists.
- Recent admissions and past prosecutions underscore security concerns driving the visit as U.S. prosecutors said in 2023 an Indian official directed a failed assassination plot, and a man from India admitted earlier this month to conspiring to hire a hitman.
- His Davos remarks, where he condemned economic coercion, amplified Carney’s trade diversification strategy, as Canada aims to double its non-U.S. exports in the next decade.
- He will also visit Australia and Japan next week as part of the tour, with analysts noting India may engage due to U.S. tariff pressures while Sikh leaders say they are 'deeply disappointed'.
