This marks Modi's first visit to Canada since 2015 and the first after Justin Trudeau's ouster as the prime minister, during whose tenure ties between New Delhi and Ottawa slumped to an all-time low after Trudeau alleged government agents' involvement in the killing Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar and the India government concerns of Canada harbouring extremist and anti-Indian elements. With Carney in office now, both nations can re-examine their diplomatic ties and may take steps to thaw the frosty relations.
