Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand stated that progress had been made in efforts to develop relations between Canada and India. Anand recalled meeting Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar in New Delhi a year ago to establish a joint roadmap for bilateral relations.

Noting that she had returned to New Delhi, Anand expressed satisfaction with the progress achieved in trade negotiations and in strengthening cooperation in energy, innovation, and security.

Drawing attention to significant changes in the international order, Anand said, "The importance of this relationship lies in what our two countries can achieve together. Strengthening ties between Canada and India gives us an opportunity to build a more prosperous future and contribute to a free, open, and prosperous Indo-Pacific region."
