The Hindu, Al Jazeera, November 15 report, India and Canada agreed to strengthen cooperation in key mineral supply, trade, investment and other areas, revitalizing the bilateral partnership. It is reported that Canada's Minister of International Trade, Maninder Sidhu, led a delegation to India from November 11-14 to attend the seventh India-Canada Ministerial Dialogue on Trade and Investment. This was one of the highest-level trade interactions between India and Canada after the bilateral trade agreement negotiations were suspended due to the "2023 India-Canada Sikh issue." During the visit, Sidhu met with India's Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, and called on both sides to set aside diplomatic disputes and rebuild trade relations. Sidhu pointed out that the meeting was "productive," and both sides focused on discussing cooperation in areas such as aerospace, artificial intelligence, key minerals, energy, and agriculture. On November 14, India and Canada issued a joint statement stating that both sides agreed to strengthen long-term supply chain partnerships in key minerals and clean energy, and expand investment and trade opportunities in aerospace and dual-use technologies. In addition, Sidhu also emphasized that Canada has "all elements for manufacturing electric vehicle batteries" and welcomed India's investment in Canada's key mineral mining and infrastructure projects. Currently, India-Canada relations have eased, and both sides have agreed to exchange new senior envoys to resume services for citizens and businesses of the two countries.
