Anita Anand India visit: Why the sudden visit of Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand to India after the Khalistani controversy? Sergio Gore also in India together… Is a new diplomatic gameplan starting? Who is changing the balance of power?
Canada Foreign Minister Anita Anand India Visit: The bitterness that had come in the relations between India and Canada after the murder of a Khalistani supporter, now it seems that its effect is gradually ending. Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand is reaching India late on Sunday night. This visit is not just formal, but it is being seen as the beginning of new relations between the two countries. Meanwhile, US Ambassador Sergio Gore is also in India, who is considered very close to Trump. In such a situation, the question arises – is all this a diplomatic master stroke?
Is there an attempt to resolve the Khalistan dispute?
In the last few months, there was a lot of tension between India and Canada over the murder of a Khalistan supporter. Now that Canada’s new Foreign Minister is on a visit to India, it is being indicated that both the countries want to forget their differences and move forward. According to sources, Anita Anand met India’s Foreign Minister S. Will meet Jaishankar and Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal. The agenda is clear – resetting trade, energy and security partnerships.
Will there be any new deal on trade and investment?
India and Canada are now preparing to come together on issues like trade diversification, energy transition and job creation. This meeting can give a new dimension to the economic bonding between the two countries. Anita Anand will also interact with Indian and Canadian companies in Mumbai so that concrete steps can be taken on investment and business opportunities.
Is this ‘Triple Play’ – the new gameplan of India, US and Canada?
Interestingly, when Canada’s Foreign Minister will be in India, at the same time US Ambassador Sergio Gore is also on a visit to India. Is this just a coincidence or are preparations underway for a major strategic alliance? Diplomacy experts believe that this tour can be an important step towards balancing China’s influence in the Indo-Pacific region.
Has India overturned the Khalistan card?
Some experts say that India is now playing diplomatic smart moves. Last month, Ajit Doval met Canada’s NSA Nathalie G. Drouin to discuss counter-terrorism and security cooperation. This meeting and now Anita Anand’s visit together show that India is now working with “strategy rather than bitterness”.
Is this the beginning of ‘new relationships’?
India and Canada are no longer just looking at past differences, but are giving priority to future common interests. It will be decided in the coming weeks how effective this master stroke of diplomacy proves to be.
