Canada pivots to India with planned PM Carney visit amid global trade reset

In response to shifting global trade dynamics and protectionist pressures from the United States, Canada is reportedly planning a high-level diplomatic and trade visit to India led by Prime Minister Mark Carney. The move is part of Canada’s effort to diversify its economic partnerships and strengthen trade ties with India, which has emerged as a key growth market.

Officials say discussions will focus on energy, technology, education and other sectors where both countries see expansion potential. This visit may set the stage for new bilateral agreements that complement ongoing global economic realignments.

Observers note that Canada’s strategic pivot to India underscores the latter’s rising geopolitical and economic stature in global affairs, as well as the changing contours of international trade cooperation in the post-pandemic era.
