India and Canada reset ties after strain of Sikh leader's murder
Published: 10/13/2025

India and Canada aim to restore ties post Sikhs' leader's murder, agreeing on steps to strengthen their partnership. Relations soured after accusations of India's involvement in the assassination of a Sikh separatist in Canada in 2023. Both nations suspended visa services and expelled diplomats, but recent discussions have led to announcements on enhancing economic cooperation and trade. With nearly 1.7 million people of Indian descent in Canada, efforts to revive the partnership signal positive developments following meetings between leaders at the G7 summit and the United Nations General Assembly.
