In a promising development for India-Canada relations, former Indian high commissioner Ajay Bisaria hailed Canada's recent stance on transnational crimes as a 'genuine de-escalation.' This marks a significant turning point after years of strained ties over security concerns during Justin Trudeau's administration.

Bisaria emphasized a mature and strategic handling of security challenges, facilitating strengthened political and economic partnerships. He cited National Security Advisor Ajit Doval's visit to Canada as a strategic effort to manage security issues discreetly.

The revitalized relationship is bolstered by robust Canadian investments in India, exceeding USD 100 billion. Upcoming talks with Prime Minister Mark Carney could further enhance economic cooperation, particularly in sectors like uranium supply, mining, and AI.
