Media: Canadian Prime Minister Kaney is set to visit India in March and sign a $2 billion uranium supply contract
According to Reuters, Canada's Ambassador to India, Dinesh Patnaik, said that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Kaney may visit India in the first week of March to sign a $2 billion agreement on uranium, energy, minerals, and artificial intelligence.
The report noted that former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had previously accused the Indian government of being involved in the assassination of a Sikh separatist leader in 2023. Kaney's visit aims to rebuild Canada-India relations. New Delhi has denied the allegations.
Patnaik revealed that the formal negotiations for Canada-India Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) will start in March. He said that during Kaney's visit to India, several specific agreements will be signed with the Indian government, including a 10-year, CAD 2.8 billion (approximately $2 billion) uranium supply contract.
Canadian Energy Minister Tim Hudak previously confirmed that if India agrees to comply with International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards, Canada is ready to sell uranium to India under the nuclear energy cooperation agreement.
