Modi expected to visit Canada in December for trade deal, report says

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit Canada in December to sign a trade agreement, Reuters reported, citing Canada’s Globe and Mail. The report comes as India and Canada work toward a comprehensive economic partnership agreement and seek to expand commercial ties. Canada’s trade minister recently told Reuters that Ottawa was optimistic about concluding negotiations with India by the end of 2026. The December visit and signing remain reported expectations. No completed agreement has been announced. Trade discussions have included energy and investment as the two countries seek to deepen economic links. Indian negotiators are expected to continue talks with Canadian counterparts in the coming months. The prospective agreement would come after a period in which diplomatic tensions complicated relations between Ottawa and New Delhi.
