Prime Minister Narendra Modi engaged in a constructive telephonic conversation with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, underlining a mutual commitment to deepen the India-Canada Strategic Partnership. Sharing updates on social media, PM Modi characterized the discussion as "warm and productive," adding that both nations are working together to foster a more stable and prosperous global environment.

The dialogue highlighted key priorities, including the early conclusion of the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), which aims to significantly expand two-way trade by 2030. The leaders also emphasized cooperation across vital sectors such as artificial intelligence, energy security, and defence. Prime Minister Carney thanked PM Modi for India's diplomatic engagement regarding regional conflict resolution, while both sides acknowledged the importance of ongoing security dialogues to combat cross-border organized crime and terrorism.

The phone call coincided with significant diplomatic activity in New Delhi, where Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal held talks with Canadian International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu. Sidhu is currently leading a 300-member corporate delegation exploring joint ventures across technology, clean energy, and life sciences.

The high-level interaction establishes a clear roadmap for upcoming diplomatic engagements, including Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand’s bilateral meetings in the capital and planned reciprocal leadership visits later in the year.
