In a statement to reporters after a one-on-one meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the colonial-era Hyderabad House in Delhi's diplomatic core, Carney said Canada is going all-in on diversifying trade. "I credit my friend Prime Minister Carney for the growing momentum in every area of cooperation," Modi said in Hindi. But, with Carney at the helm, the relationship has become friendlier with much more diplomatic dialogue — with even more to come after the prime minister invited Modi to visit Canada sometime soon. B.C.-based coal producer, Elk Valley Resources, will sell 1.2 million tonnes of coal to India worth hundreds of millions of dollars. "Prime Minister Carney also underscored that Canada will continue to take measures to combat transnational repression," according to a backgrounder on the Modi meeting shared with reporters.
