Canadian High Commissioner to India Christopher Cooter told reporters that the bilateral relationship between India and Canada has entered a period of unprecedented cooperation, describing it as the most favourable environment in the eight decades of diplomatic engagement between the two nations.
Cooter pointed to tangible advances in the security dialogue concerning the 2023 killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, indicating that both capitals are making headway on the sensitive issue. He also cited India’s recent decision to label the Lawrence Bishnoi gang as a terrorist organisation as a concrete measure that has helped improve the overall atmosphere.
The remarks come after a series of diplomatic strains that began with the Nijjar case, which saw expulsions of diplomats and heightened public scrutiny. By restoring confidence through security cooperation and counter‑terrorism actions, both governments aim to stabilise trade flows, protect the sizable Indian diaspora in Canada and the Canadian community in India, and lay the groundwork for deeper strategic partnership.
