India's Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, arrived in Ottawa on Monday for a significant three-day visit, leading a delegation of over 110 Indian business leaders. The primary aim is to rejuvenate bilateral relations and expedite the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (Cepa). Goyal and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney discussed ambitious goals to triple bilateral trade from the current $8 billion to $50 billion by 2030. This renewed push comes after trade negotiations were stalled in late 2023 due to diplomatic tensions. Following a meeting between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Canadian leadership at the G7 Summit, negotiations resumed. Goyal's delegation spans various sectors, emphasizing supply chain resilience and resource security, particularly in clean energy. Canadian Minister Maninder Sidhu highlighted the importance of diversifying trade partners to unlock an estimated $300 billion in additional exports. The ministers confirmed that substantial progress has been made in preliminary talks, with a third round of negotiations planned to further solidify economic ties between India and Canada.
