India's PM Modi expected to visit Canada in December to sign trade deal, Globe and Mail reports
India and Canada are expected to add defence, aerospace and education agreements as officials say the trade pact is nearly complete.
- On Tuesday, India's High Commissioner to Canada Dinesh Patnaik announced that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit Canada in December to sign a completed free-trade agreement.
- International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu said Monday that discussions with Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal during his recent visit to Mumbai had driven "real progress" in the trade talks.
- Patnaik expects Modi and Prime Minister Mark Carney will sign agreements on defence and aerospace, while expanding the "Talent and Innovation Strategy" unveiled in February to deepen educational links.
- Seeking to define ties through "strong people-to-people bonds," Patnaik aims to ensure "fringe issues" do not dominate New Delhi's relationship with Ottawa.
- This diplomatic push follows Carney's visit to India earlier this year to repair relations, part of a strategy to reduce economic dependence on the administration of President Donald Trump.
