The Hindu
Prime Minister Narendra Modi responded to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s congratulatory message, expressing hope for mutual understanding and respect
The unease in India-Canada ties was on display when Prime Minister Narendra Modi on June 10 responded to a congratulatory message from his Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau and said New Delhi looks forward to working with Ottawa based on mutual understanding and respect for "each other's concerns".
The ties between India and Canada came under severe strain following Mr. Trudeau's allegations in September last year of a "potential" involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia.
New Delhi rejected Mr. Trudeau's charges as "absurd".
"Thank you @CanadianPM for the congratulatory message. India looks forward to working with Canada based on mutual understanding and respect for each other's concerns," Mr. Modi said in a post on 'X'.
