Story summary

Canada's International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu has led a week-long trade mission to India, involving nearly 300 Canadian businesses, aiming to reconnect the two countries after a three-year rift over allegations of Indian government involvement in the fatal shooting of a Sikh separatist leader in B.C. The mission resulted in about $300 million worth of commercial partnerships and 34 agreements. This initiative is part of Canada's push for the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), which seeks to lower tariffs on commodities such as pulses and potash, ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's expected visit to Canada by mid-December.
