Mega change in India-Canada relations..!?

Justin Trudeau resigned amid a conflict between canada and india over the Khalistan issue. In this situation, Mark Carney, who is about to take over as the new prime minister, has said that there is a chance to rebuild friendship with india and that he is looking forward to it. This is going to bring about big changes in india and Canada. As Sikhs are the second largest community in canada, Justin Trudeau, who wanted to gain their support, gave them importance in the cabinet. But after giving a place in the Canadian cabinet to the Khalistanis who are demanding a separate state for Khalistan in india, they started dominating Canadian politics. Trudeau won the 2021 election with the support of the Sikhs, following the agreement, despite china and Russia. It was in this context that the assassination of Khalistan leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in canada in 2023 caused a stir.
Since then, India-Canada relations have been strained. In this context, after indian students started working against india with visas and support for Khalistan, his Liberal party executives expressed their opposition. They also pressured him to resign from the post of Prime Minister. Justin Trudeau announced that he would step down as the leader of the Liberal party and prime minister with the Canadian Prime Ministerial election due in october this year, and resigned a few days ago. Following this, Mark Carney was elected as the new leader of the Liberal party, the ruling party in Canada. He is also set to take office as prime minister of Canada. In this context, Mark has said that he wants to rebuild the India-Canadian relationship that has deteriorated due to Justin and wants to improve trade relations between canada and India. Speaking on this, he said, "What canada wants to do in this context is to diversify our trade relations with like-minded countries. And there are opportunities to rebuild relations with India. We need to improve trade relations with India. I am looking forward to the opportunity to build trade relations with india when I take office as Prime Minister."

 Who is this Mark Carney?: Mark Carney, who is currently 59 years old, has been elected as the new leader of the Liberal party and the 24th prime minister of Canada. His arrival is considered significant at a time when canada is facing economic and financial challenges. The reason is that he has also served as the chairman of the bank of Canada. It is noteworthy that he was the governor of the bank of canada for almost five years and the chairman of the Financial Stability Board for 7 years. In the current environment, with US President donald trump threatening to impose a reciprocal tax, india is expected to help Canada's economic development and initiate efforts to improve bilateral relations. After Mark Carney takes office, india is expected to hold talks on immigration and visa regulations.
