Hoping to rebuild ties with Canada: India

India on Friday (March 21, 2025) said it hopes to rebuild ties with Canada based on "mutual trust and sensitivity", blaming the downturn in the relations to the "licence" that was given to the "extremist and secessionist elements" in that country.

New Delhi's comments came days after Mark Carney, an economist and political newcomer, took charge as Canada's new Prime Minister following the exit of Justin Trudeau from the top office.

He was responding to a question at his weekly media briefing on the current status of India-Canada bilateral ties.
