Noida, Uttar Pradesh:At the invitation of His Excellency Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, the Right Honourable Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada, paid an official visit to India from February 27 – March 2, 2026. This was Prime Minister Carney’s first visit to India after taking over as the Prime Minister of Canada and is the first bilateral visit to India by a Canadian Prime Minister since 2018. Prime Minister Carney was accompanied by a Canadian high-level delegation that included senior ministers, provincial leaders and leading CEOs. Commemorating 79 years of establishment of diplomatic relations, the Leaders reaffirmed the importance of the Canada–India relationship, grounded in shared democratic values, deep people-to-people ties, respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a joint commitment to the rule of law. The Leaders acknowledged that, in an increasingly complex and uncertain global context, a strong, resilient, and forward-looking partnership between two vibrant democracies contributes meaningfully to mutual prosperity and to advancing shared global priorities. They underscored that closer cooperation between India and Canada will help reinforce international rules and norms that are applied fairly, strengthen economic resilience, promote sustainable development, and address global challenges including climate change, rapid technological transformation, and public health. The Leaders affirmed their shared resolve to work together bilaterally and in multilateral fora to uphold democratic values, support inclusive growth, and contribute to peace, stability, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific and beyond. Building on this shared vision, the Leaders agreed to adopt the principle of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam or One Earth, One Family, One Future as the overarching guiding framework for the renewed India–Canada Strategic Partnership, reflecting their commitment to sustainability, inclusivity, and collective global responsibility. They underscored the alignment between India’s vision of Viksit Bharat and Canada’s Build Canada Strong agenda, and affirmed that enhanced bilateral cooperation across growth, innovation, energy transition, food and nutrition security, trusted digital ecosystems, resilient supply chains, skills and talent mobility, and people-centric development will serve as a catalyst for resilient societies, shared prosperity, and a more sustainable future for both countries and the wider world. Progress and Implementation of the New Roadmap Both Leaders welcomed the significant progress achieved since their meetings on the margins of the G7 Summit in Kananaskis and the G20 Summit in Johannesburg in the implementation of New Roadmap for Canada–India Relations, thereby providing a clear direction for strengthening the Canada–India partnership. They noted with satisfaction the increased frequency of two-way Ministerial-level engagements, which have injected renewed momentum into bilateral cooperation across priority sectors; welcomed the activation of various institutional dialogue mechanisms and enhanced sub-national engagement, underscoring their importance in deepening mutual understanding and policy coordination; acknowledged the return of diplomatic representatives to their respective missions; and appreciated the constructive steps taken toward the gradual normalization of bilateral ties, reflecting a shared commitment to strengthening bilateral relations in a spirit of mutual respect, accommodation, and cooperation. The Leaders highlighted the strong commercial foundation underpinning bilateral ties, reflected in the launch of negotiations of a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) and in significant business announcements and investment commitments in recent months. These developments demonstrate the expanding scale, diversification, and sophistication of the bilateral economic relationship and signal growing confidence among businesses and investors in both markets. The Leaders noted that sustained engagement between industry and government, supported by an enabling policy environment, will be essential to unlock new opportunities in priority sectors and to translate commercial momentum into long-term, mutually beneficial economic growth. Building on this momentum, the Leaders agreed to deepen collaboration across the following priority sectors: ONE EARTH Strategic Energy Partnership Recognizing their complementary strengths as energy powers, the Leaders agreed to advance the India-Canada Strategic Energy Partnership aimed at deepening long-term cooperation across the energy value chain. They reaffirmed the immense importance of energy security and diversification of supply for the safety, wellbeing, and economic vitality of both countries, and underscored their shared commitment to enhancing collaboration across clean energy, conventional energy, civil nuclear energy, and critical minerals to promote affordability, sustainability, and economic growth.

The Leaders welcomed the codification of this work through the signing of a trilateral Australia-Canada-India MOU on Cooperation in Technology and Innovation. To translate this shared vision into concrete outcomes, the Leaders agreed to structure the renewed India–Canada Strategic Partnership around two foundational layers. Foundational Layer – 1: Security and Defence Cooperation Security Cooperation The Leaders welcomed the progress made under the regular bilateral security dialogue convened at the level of the National Security Advisors and the agreement to a shared workplan to guide enhanced cooperation on national security and law enforcement priorities. As pluralistic democracies, they agreed to deepen collaboration to address issues relating to violent extremism, terrorism, organized crime, including the illegal flow of narcotics and fentanyl precursors, cybercrime, extortion, financial fraud, trafficking and related criminal networks. The Leaders supported the establishment of security and law-enforcement liaison mechanisms to streamline bilateral communication and enable timely information-sharing and committed to strengthening cooperation on cybersecurity and immigration enforcement, consistent with domestic laws and international obligations.

Both countries agree to institutionalizing an India–Canada Defence Dialogue which will exchange views on respective defence policies, regional and global security developments, and strategic outlooks in order to identify opportunities for greater defence collaboration. In this context, they welcomed Canada’s appointment of a Defence Attaché to India and India’s concurrent accreditation of its Defence Attaché in Washington D.C. to Canada as important steps toward strengthening institutional linkages. Multilateral and Indo-Pacific Engagement Both countries agreed to deepen cooperation in a range of regional and global fora. These engagements will strengthen coordination and promote a shared understanding of priorities in an increasingly complex strategic environment. The Leaders agreed that the Indo-Pacific represents a region of growing strategic and economic importance and reaffirmed their shared commitment to a free, open, inclusive, and resilient Indo-Pacific. They underscored the value of practical cooperation in promoting sustainable development, maritime safety and security, climate resilience, connectivity, and capacity-building across the region. The Leaders committed to strengthening coordination through regional and global institutions and partnerships, leveraging complementary strengths to support infrastructure development, digital inclusion, disaster preparedness, and people-centric growth, while advancing a rules-based international order that respects sovereignty and territorial integrity. The Leaders noted the growing convergence between India’s vision for the Indian Ocean Region and Canada’s Indo-Pacific Strategy, grounded in shared interests in stability, sustainable development, connectivity, and inclusive growth. India welcomed Canada’s interest in joining the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) as a Dialogue Partner, recognizing the value Canada can bring through its expertise in maritime governance, climate resilience, blue economy, and capacity-building. The Leaders agreed to strengthen cooperation in the Indian Ocean through practical initiatives supporting disaster preparedness, infrastructure development, digital inclusion, and people-centric growth, and affirmed their commitment to working together with regional partners to advance a free, open, inclusive, and resilient Indo-Pacific. Foundational Layer – 2: Advancing Trade Partnership Ministerial Dialogue on Trade and Investment The Leaders noted that the renewed Ministerial Dialogue on Trade and Investment marked a renewed phase of engagement aimed at reinvigorating bilateral trade and investment ties and setting a forward-looking agenda for cooperation, anchored in shared democratic values and growing economic complementarities. CEPA and Trade Architecture The Leaders reaffirmed their shared commitment to strengthening bilateral economic engagement through the resumption of discussions toward an ambitious and mutually beneficial Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA). The Leaders expressed confidence that a comprehensive trade framework would serve as a durable economic anchor for the partnership and support the shared aspiration of expanding bilateral trade to CAD 70 billion / INR 4.65 lakh crore by 2030. They welcomed the finalization and signing of the Terms of Reference for CEPA negotiations and the launch of formal negotiations and expressed their shared commitment to conclude the talks by end-2026. Commercial Momentum Acknowledging the evolving global economic landscape, both sides underscored the importance of a resilient, reliable, and predictable trading relationship that enhances supply chain stability, mitigates external vulnerabilities, accommodates each other’s sensitivities, and promotes mutually beneficial cooperation across priority sectors. They further recognized the deepening integration of their economies, reflected in the substantial workforce employed by Canadian companies operating in India and by Indian companies operating in Canada, demonstrating a significant two-way commercial presence that already anchors the partnership. To impart greater commercial momentum to bilateral trade and investment ties, the Leaders welcomed a program of four reciprocal Ministerial-led trade and investment engagements, including two visits to Canada and two visits to India, accompanied by business delegations. They noted that these exchanges will help unlock new commercial opportunities, deepen private-sector partnerships, and further integrate the economies of both countries. India-Canada CEO Forum The Leaders welcomed the reconstitution of the India–Canada CEO Forum as a key platform to deepen private-sector engagement and advance practical cooperation across priority sectors. They encouraged business leaders from both countries to leverage the Forum to identify new opportunities in trade, investment, innovation, and supply chain resilience, and to provide actionable recommendations to support CEPA negotiations and broader economic objectives. The Leaders agreed that stronger collaboration between industry, government, and financial institutions will be essential to taking bilateral economic cooperation to the next level and delivering tangible benefits for businesses and citizens in both countries. Finance Ministers Economic Dialogue The Leaders welcomed the launch of the Finance Ministers’ Economic and Financial Dialogue that will bring together finance officials on issues such as payments modernization, financial stability, fintech innovation and capital markets development. As an early priority, this will include collaboration on the future of instant payments and explore opportunities on cross-border remittances and merchant payments. The National Payments Corporation of India and Payments Canada would be invited to participate, with the aim of boosting bilateral trade, while supporting tourism, education, remittances, and growth for SMEs in both countries. They noted that the inaugural Finance Ministers Economic Dialogue will be hosted at a mutually agreed time in 2026. Conclusion Prime Minister Carney expressed his sincere appreciation to the Government and people of India for their warm hospitality and reaffirmed Canada’s strong commitment to advancing this comprehensive partnership. Both Leaders welcomed continued high-level engagement and expressed confidence that the initiatives outlined in this Joint Statement will further deepen the India–Canada partnership, strengthen mutual trust, and deliver tangible, long-term benefits for both countries and their peoples. They affirmed that a stronger India–Canada partnership will also contribute positively to regional stability, global resilience, and shared prosperity, reflecting their common commitment to building a more inclusive, sustainable, and secure future.

Noida, Uttar Pradesh:जालंधर: Varinder Ghuman की मौत को लेकर पिता का खुलासा जालंधर: इंटरनेशनल बॉडी बिल्डर वरिंदर घुम्मन का कुछ माह पहले फॉर्टिस अस्पताल में उपचार के दौरान निधन हो गया था। इस मामले को लेकर SIT गठित की गई थी। वहीं गठित SIT की रिपोर्ट आ गई है। परिवार ने दावा किया कि रिपोर्ट में मौत का कारण डॉक्टरों की लापरवाही बताया गया है। पिता ने वरिंदर घुम्मन की मौत को लेकर आशंका जताई है। उन्होंने कहा कि बेटे ने चुनाव लड़ने का ऐलान किया था। आशंका है कि इसी को लेकर डॉक्टरों द्वारा कोई हेरा फेरी की गई है या क्या लापरवाही की है, जिसके कारण डॉक्टरों ने बेटे की ऑपरेशन के दौरान केयर नहीं की। पिता ने कहा कि इस मामले में वह कोर्ट का रुख करेंगे। पिता ने कहा कि बेटे की मौत को लेकर उन्हें इंसाफ मिलना चाहिए। डॉक्टरों के लाइसेंस रद्द किया जाए और उन्हें सलाखों के पीछे डाला जाए। पिता ने कहा कि वह नामी अस्पताल में बेटे का उपचार करवाने के लिए गए थे। इंटर NC खिलाड़ी को डॉक्टरों ने मौत के घाट उतार दिया। दूसरी और वीरेंद्र घुम्मन के भाई रब्बी ने कहा कि परिवार इंसाफ की लड़ाई लगातार लड़ रहा हैं। उन्होंने का मेडिकल रिपोर्ट आ गई है। मेडिकल रिपोर्ट में सामने आया है कि डॉक्टरों की लापरवाही के कारण भाई का निधन हुआ है। परिवार ने डीजीपी गौरव यादव और पुलिस कमिश्नर धनप्रीत कौर से अपील की है कि वह जल्द से जल्द इस मामले में कार्रवाई करते हुए डॉक्टरों के खिलाफ पर्चा दर्ज करें। परिवार की अपील है कि लापरवाही के कारण नामी अस्पताल को बंद किया जाना चाहिए। वही डॉक्टर के लाइसेंस रद्द किए जाने चाहिए और उन्हें सलाखों के पीछे डालना चाहिए। भाई ने कहा कि जांच में तीन माह लग गए, लेकिन साथ मैंबरी कमेटी ने बरकी से मामले की जांच की और सच सामने लाकर रख दिया। भाई का कहना है कि वरिंदर की ईसीजी रिपोर्ट सही नहीं आई थी। ईसीजी रिपोर्ट के अनुसार भाई का ऑपरेशन नहीं किया जाना चाहिए था, लेकिन फिर भी डॉक्टरों द्वारा वरिंदर का ऑपरेशन किया गया। इस तरह की कई अन्य रिपोर्ट और वीडियो के आधार पर मामले की 7 मैंबरी कमेटी ने जांच की। रबड़ी ने कहा कि वरिंदर का एक डेढ़ घंटे तक चलने वाला ऑपरेशन को डॉक्टर द्वारा अगर 5 से 5:30 घंटे लगे हैं तो जाहिर सी बात है कि अगर ऑपरेशन ज्यादा लंबा चलता है तो एनेस्थीसिया की डोज भी डॉक्टर द्वारा मरीज को कुछ ज्यादा दी जाएगी। परिवार ने कहा है कि वरिंदर का शरीर नीला पढ़ने को लेकर की भी जांच की जाएगी।

When I stand here in a place that was bombarded by the terrorists in Tehran against innocent civilians, you see the difference. The tyrants of Tehran target civilians. We target the tyrants of Tehran to protect civilians. I've said for many years that they threaten not only Israel and not only America. They chant death to Israel, death to America. That's their ultimate target. But I said that they would also target those in between, that they would target Europe. They did. And if this regime, this terrorist regime of the kind we've never seen in the world, if they get nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them, ballistic missiles, intercontinental ballistic missiles, they will threaten all of humanity. So we set out to protect ourselves, but in so doing, we protect many others. And I want to say special thanks to our great friend and a great leader of the world.
