Anand said Canada will address Khalistani slogans amid the ongoing legal case over Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s 2023 killing on Canadian soil, underscoring the country’s commitment to rule of law.
She highlighted a high‑level national‑security dialogue and a 2025 declaration that stresses the rule of law, while noting that Canada has also designated the Bishnoi gang as a terrorist entity to curb cross‑border militancy.
The relationship with India, once strained, has steadied, with both sides staffing embassies, signing a declaration, and celebrating people‑to‑people ties in trade, tourism and education.
Anita Anand reiterated that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney values his relationship with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and that Modi will visit Canada in December, a development that signals a renewed partnership on a $4‑trillion‑economy global stage.
