India and Canada’s foreign ministers reportedly held secret back-channel talks in Washington last month after a bitter diplomatic feud erupted between the two countries over the killing of a Sikh separatist leader on Canadian soil.
The reported back-channel meeting between the top diplomats in September would be the first instance of high-level face-to-face discussions taking place between the two sides after Canada’s prime minister Justin Trudeau said there were “credible allegations” of the Indian government’s involvement in the murder of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
