Modi set to visit Canada in December as trade deal talks gather pace

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit Canada in December, with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney saying India had confirmed the trip, though a precise date had not yet been settled upon.

Carney indicated that the visit was anticipated to coincide with the G20 period, raising expectations that the two leaders could use the occasion to advance discussions on a long-awaited trade agreement between the two countries.

Relations between India and Canada have been strained in recent years, making the prospective visit a significant diplomatic moment. A successful meeting could mark a turning point, with a trade deal potentially offering economic benefits to both nations.
