Dr. Vikramjit Singh Sahney, Member of Parliament from Punjab has welcomed the landmark agreement between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to restore diplomatic representation by appointing new High Commissioners for both nations during the recent G7 Summit. Calling it a “moment of much-needed reset,”
Dr. Sahney stated that this positive step will greatly ease the hardships faced by Indian citizens, especially our NRI brothers and sisters, who have long awaited regular and timely visa services to visit their families and homeland.
Emphasising the economic implications of this renewed engagement, Dr. Sahney stated that with over 8.2 billion USD in bilateral goods trade in 2024 and Canadian investments exceeding 55 billion USD in India, there is vast scope to expand cooperation. India imports over 63% of its potash from Canada and is a major consumer of lentils and edible oils sourced from there.
With restored diplomatic normalcy, we must energise this economic corridor to serve the interests of both nations, Dr. Sahney added.
