Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday responded to the congratulatory message from his Canadian counterpart and said that India anticipates collaborating with Canada grounded in mutual understanding and respect for each other’s concerns.
“Thank you @CanadianPM for the congratulatory message. India looks forward to working with Canada based on mutual understanding and respect for each others concerns,” PM Modi said in a post on X.
In his message, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had highlighted Canada's readiness to strengthen ties with India rooted in human rights, diversity, and the rule of law.
“Congratulations to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his electoral victory. Canada stands ready to work with his government to advance the relationship between our nations’ peoples — anchored to human rights, diversity, and the rule of law,” the Canadian Prime Minister’s official account quoted Trudeau as saying.
Modi’s response comes amid the ongoing bitterness with Canada ever since Trudeau’s comments last year, alleging India’s involvement in the killing of pro-Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. India has rejected the allegations as “absurd” and “motivated”.
