Indian Opinion Analysis
PIB's release leads with the PMO's positive framing of a 'warm and productive' call and focuses on agreement to deepen strategic ties. Aaj Tak adds context that this marks a thaw after the deep freeze under Justin Trudeau's tenure, when unsubstantiated allegations over the killing of a Khalistani separatist led to a diplomatic rift. It reports that both sides reaffirmed commitment to early conclusion of the CEPA talks to double bilateral trade by 2030, and that Carney praised Modi's leadership on the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Aaj Tak also notes that the call followed a visit by Canada's senior diplomatic advisor to Delhi, and that a Modi visit to Canada is proposed for December.
