Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi concluded a visit to Canada on Tuesday with a meeting with his host, Prime Minister Mark Carney, that resulted in the restoration of normal diplomatic relations and a promise to cooperate on trade, critical minerals, and a “free and open Indo-Pacific.”
The meeting was the first between the two heads of government and took place on the sidelines of the annual G7 Summit, which took place in Kananaskis, Alberta, this year. India is not a member of the G7 bloc but hosts often invite foreign leaders of nations with significant ties to its members to the event. Along with Modi, Carney invited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung, among others.
