Anand also conveyed her deepest condolences to EAM Jaishankar for those who were killed in the explosion in Delhi on Monday evening and reiterated Canada's solidarity with the people of India.

"The ministers exchanged views on the ongoing law-enforcement dialogue between Canadian and Indian authorities. They also discussed the progress being made on the Canada-India joint road map, which sets out a plan to enhance cooperation in key areas, including energy, trade and people-to-people ties," read the statement issued by Canada's Department of Global Affairs.

"Minister Anand reiterated Canada's appreciation of India's participation in G7 discussions this year, recognising that as the world's fourth largest economy and with a relationship built on more than 75 years of diplomatic relations, India is an important partner for Canada. The two Ministers agreed to remain in touch as the two countries continue to implement the Canada-India road map," it added.

During the meeting, EAM Jaishankar also praised the progress made under the New Roadmap 2025, aimed at enhancing bilateral ties between India and Canada and expressed hope for rebuilding a stronger partnership.

While I appreciate the diplomatic efforts, I hope this partnership addresses the real concerns of Indian students facing challenges in Canada. The focus should be on practical benefits, not just high-level meetings.

The law-enforcement dialogue is particularly important. Better cooperation can help address security concerns that affect both countries. Hope this leads to tangible results in combating transnational crimes.
