    Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said that we should engage with the Indian government constructively and seriously. India is a growing economic power and has a role to play in geopolitical issues. He again reiterated that a Canadian citizen has been murdered on Canadian soil and there is a strong allegation that an agent of the Indian government has committed this murder. This is something that every democratic country needs to take seriously.

    In response to this, Trudeau said, yes, Americans are with us in talking to the Indian government about this. It is important that they cooperate in this investigation. A Canadian citizen has been murdered on Canadian soil and it is a strong allegation that an agent of the Indian government has committed this murder. This is something that every democratic country needs to take seriously. We are proceeding in this matter in a legal manner and very responsibly… with all our partners, including the Government of India.

    After this he repeated the same thing in French also. Obviously this was to convince his audience domestically that he stood by his word.

    “We are very keen to build closer relations with India.”

    The second question asked to Trudeau was that despite such allegations by Canada, Blinken is meeting the Foreign Minister of India, what does this reveal?

    Trudeau responded very positively that it is very important that we all engage constructively and seriously with the Indian government. India is a growing economic power and has a role to play in geopolitical issues. Only last year we presented the Indo Pacific Strategy to India. We are very keen to build closer relations with India, but at the same time, as a law-abiding country, we need to emphasize that India needs to work with Canada so that we can take action on this matter .
