Canada and India’s Foreign Ministers recently held talks which focused on growing the relationship as expected in Canada’s recently unveiled Indo-Pacific Strategy and cooperation in ensuring the success of G20 events.
While talking about the meeting, Canada’s Foreign Minister, Mélanie Joly, tweeted that during her conversation with India’s External Minister, S Jaishankar, they talked about the new Indo-Pacific Strategy that was released last month. She said they also talked about how both countries “plan to work together to strengthen our people-to-people ties and advance our shared interests as India chairs the G20 next year”.
Jaishankar responded by saying they talked about “enhancing our bilateral cooperation and promoting people-to-people ties.”
He added that they also “exchanged views on the Indo-Pacific and how Canada’s new strategy can contribute to our relationship.”
The Indo-Pacific Strategy has been placed at the centre of its engagement with the region by Canada, with India being of high importance. The strategy notes: “India’s strategic importance and leadership – both across the region and globally – will only increase as India – the world’s biggest democracy – becomes the most populous country in the world and continues to grow its economy. Canada will seek new opportunities to partner and engage in dialogue in areas of common interest and values, including security and the promotion of democracy, pluralism and human rights.”
