History

Historical Context

Bilateral trade grew from $4.2 billion in 2010—after a nuclear cooperation pact—to $9.36 billion in 2023, prompting Canada and India to restart Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement talks in late 2025. At the 23 November 2025 G-20 summit in Johannesburg, leaders Mark Carney and Narendra Modi pledged to double trade to $70 billion by 2030, a target they will advance at the next G20 meeting.
