- 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.

- 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.
