India's ties with Canada have been strained after former Prime Minister Justin Truedau had claimed that the Indian government had a hand in the killing of NIA designated terrorist Hardeep Nijjar. The allegation was strongly denied as malicious by the Indian government.
Earlier, on May 14, EAM Jaishankar congratulated Anand on her appointment as Canada's foreign minister. This came after the newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on May 13 unveiled a 38-member cabinet, comprising 28 ministers and 10 Secretaries of State.
Following unveiling the new Cabinet, Carney outlined the government's top priorities - creating new economic and security relationships with the United States, tackling the cost of living, and strengthening Canada's economy.
Sharing a post on X, Carney wrote, 'Canada, meet your new Cabinet. This is a team that is empowered and expected to lead. Together, we will create a new economic and security relationship with the United States and build a stronger economy - the strongest economy in the G7.' (ANI)
