PM Modi meets Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday met Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand in New Delhi and said her visit would help infuse fresh momentum into India–Canada ties. Welcoming Anand, the Prime Minister said her visit would contribute to strengthening cooperation across key sectors including trade, energy, technology, agriculture and people-to-people exchanges. Recalling his visit to Canada for the G7 Summit in June, PM Modi said he had a fruitful discussion with his Canadian counterpart Mark Carney on deepening bilateral cooperation. The Prime Minister conveyed his warm wishes to Carney and said he looked forward to their upcoming engagements.
Earlier, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand held high-level talks in New Delhi, aimed at revitalizing the India-Canada ties. The visit marks Anand’s first official trip to India as Foreign Minister and follows months of renewed engagement between the two nations. The meeting builds on the understanding reached between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Prime Minister Mark Carney during their bilateral discussions on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Canada, earlier this year. Both countries have since taken calibrated steps to restore stability in ties, including reinstating High Commissioners on August 28 and holding key security and diplomatic consultations in September. 
India and Canada have agreed on a comprehensive roadmap to deepen cooperation across strategic, economic, security, and technological domains. This plan is anchored in shared democratic values, respect for sovereignty, and a commitment to strengthening people-to-people ties.Jaishankar highlighted Canada’s “complementary economy” and shared values of “diversity and pluralism” as the foundation for a sustainable and long-term partnership. Anand described the joint statement as “comprehensive and all-encompassing,” emphasizing shared priorities in security, critical minerals, energy, AI, and climate action.
