Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney arrived in India Friday on a key visit aimed at diversifying trade amid tensions with the United States.
He is set to meet business leaders in Mumbai and hold talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Monday, covering trade, energy, technology, AI, and defense.
The visit follows U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminum, and car parts, prompting Carney to push for doubling Canada’s non-U.S. exports over the next decade.
Canada and India are resuming free-trade agreement negotiations, with Carney targeting $51 billion in annual bilateral trade by 2030, Al-Jazeera has reported.
India, seeking more foreign investment, hopes Canadian funds will support its energy expansion, including nuclear power.
