India, Canada resume talks to reset relations

Hindustan Times  

Toronto/New Delhi: India and Canada have resumed contacts between security agencies and are eyeing the possibility of appointing new high commissioners, paving the way for a reset of diplomatic ties after the storm over the 2023 killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, people familiar with the matter said. Discussions between the two sides through diplomatic and security channels resumed around December, after the relationship went through another rough patch in October, when India withdrew its high commissioner and five other diplomats who were declared “persons of interest” in the investigation into Nijjar’s killing and expelled an equal number of Canadian diplomats. As he campaigned for the ruling Liberal Party’s leadership this month, he said, “What Canada will be looking to do is to diversify our trading relationships with like-minded countries and there are opportunities to rebuild the relationship with India.” Contacts between security authorities of both sides too have picked up pace since late last year, the people said. India’s former high commissioner Sanjay Verma was among the six diplomats withdrawn by New Delhi last October, when Canada sought the waiver of diplomatic immunity on them for questioning related to “violent criminal activity”.
