India–Canada
No question on this topic yet. The note is still here to read.
India–Canada bilateral relations entered a diplomatic crisis triggered by the 2023 killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The crisis ran through the expulsion of diplomats, the suspension of trade negotiations on the Early Progress Trade Agreement (EPTA) — the CETA-equivalent agreement — and disruptions to visa services. The Khalistan-separatism dimension affects bilateral trust. Five Eyes intelligence-sharing operates as a complicating factor. Diaspora politics and the interaction of trade interests with security concerns run through a middle-power bilateral relationship.
