India’s Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal says Prime Minister Mark Carney’s recent visit to his country paved the way for a complete overhaul of the Canada-India relationship.
Goyal is in Canada for meetings on trade and investment this week, starting today with a discussion with Canadian International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu.
Goyal says the relationship between Canada and India will be very important in the coming years and both countries are keen to reach a free trade agreement by the end of the year.

He is accompanied by more than 100 senior business representatives from industries including mining, energy, automotive and aerospace, in what India is calling its largest-ever business delegation to Canada.
Sidhu says the countries have been engaging in “WhatsApp diplomacy” and that Canada will be sending a delegation to India to continue trade talks later this year.
Carney visited Mumbai and New Delhi in March after making resetting relations with India a priority after he became prime minister in 2025.
We should break ties with the big bully below us and just trade with China and India. We could have open borders between the three of us and free trade.Kind of like the European Union.
Did somebody say India ? I’m all in !!!
Just give me a minute to grab my outfit and some shoe polish.
One more – I BET that half of India is now full of Canadian Citizens who are now collecting OAS and spend 6 months of the year in their country of birth. Our canadian dollar leaving the country experts used to say was NOT A GOOD THING.
Did Carney dress up like Trudeau and his whole family did when Justin visited India years ago? I laughed and laughed so hard every time I looked at that picture. “India has never signed a comprehensive free trade agreement with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. While the two leaders explored various commercial partnerships during Trudeau’s tenure, formal trade negotiations completely froze in 2023 due to severe diplomatic tensions.”
Oh very very good.More Indians come to Canada thanks to Brown Guy Justin Trudeau and Liberal Party
half of Canada become India since 2020, what’s there to trade?
What do we need from India ?
Nothing but a bunch of scammmers and criminals ruining our country
