Canada and India are poised to establish an intelligence-sharing agreement focusing on international crime and extremism, as indicated by a report from Bloomberg. This move comes ahead of a meeting between leaders and follows a tense diplomatic period due to allegations linking the Indian government to the murder of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada. The collaboration aims to enhance efforts against terrorism and extrajudicial killings. Despite concerns from some lawmakers, Canadian PM Mark Carney defends the invitation to Indian PM Narendra Modi, citing India's significant global economic role amidst ongoing investigations.
Under the intelligence-sharing deal, which is expected to be announced during the G7 summit in Canada later this week, police from both countries will increase cooperation on transnational crime, terrorism and extremist activities.
Carney also cited India's status as the fifth largest economy in the world, the most populous country in the world and central to supply chains.
