Canada's High Commissioner to India Cameron Mackay on January 11 said notwithstanding the recent tensions, the strategic interests of India and Canada are "absolutely aligned", and he was encouraged by the continuance of bilateral trade and investment relationship.
Speaking at a seminar on 'India-Canada Business: The Way Forward' at the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit in Gandhinagar, he said this annual gathering of investors was a "great platform to reassert our business-to-business and people-to-people ties." The relations between the two countries saw some bitterness last year following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegation about India's suspected involvement in the killing of Khalistani separatist and designated terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in his country. India denied the allegation as absurd.
