STRATEGIC DIALOGUE WITH CANADA



  • India and Canada will hold their first-ever strategic dialogue in Toronto on September 22 to give a momentum to ties between the two nations.
  • The decision to annually hold the strategic dialogue was taken during Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s visit to India in November last year.

 SIGNIFICANCE:
  • The dialogue between India and Canada is significant considering the presence of a large Indian community in Canada.
  • India and Canada have already concluded an agreement to implement their civil nuclear deal that will allow Canadian companies to export uranium and atomic reactors to New Delhi after a gap of 36 years.
  • The two countries are also negotiating a comprehensive economic cooperation agreement.
