India and Canada are rapidly rebuilding ties after years of diplomatic tensions, with both countries now working toward a major free trade agreement under the CEPA framework. Prime Minister Mark Carney described the proposed deal as a “game changer” as Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal held high-level meetings in Ottawa. The two nations are aiming to raise bilateral trade from $17 billion to $50 billion by 2030 amid a broader geopolitical and economic reset.
