India is the fifth largest economy in the world and it is central to a number of critical global supply chains, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney mentioned during recent interview.

Despite ongoing tension between the two countries on the issue of extremism, Bezirgan said he expects warmer ties henceforth as Carney has invited Prime Minister Modi for the G7 Summit.

Mark Carney's remarks came as Canadian political rivals criticised his invite to PM Modi amid a probe into alleged Indian links to the 2023 Nijjar killing.
