Possibility to improve bilateral relations
If Canada tries to improve diplomatic and business relations with India, New Delhi will welcome it.

Recent stress in India-Canada relations
India and Canada’s relations deteriorated after the allegations made by Justin Trudeau in September 2023. Trudeau had said that Indian agencies were involved in the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. New Delhi described these allegations as baseless and repeatedly rejected. The two countries then expelled each other’s diplomats and Ottawa stopped the Early Progress Trade Agreement (EPTA), which was to be completed in 2023.
