OTTAWA — Canada should increase its efforts to improve a wobbly bilateral relationship with India, say business leaders, as the world’s most populous country becomes an increasingly “inevitable” economic partner. But high-level meetings have since been rare, and the last bilateral trade negotiations were held in 2017. “An ambitious Canada-India CEPA will stimulate bilateral trade and investment and provide long-term benefits for both parties.”Nonetheless, business relationships seem unaffected by political headwinds. There are more students from India at Canadian universities than from China. Attendance at the organization’s summits in both countries has gone up amid “a conspicuous rise in Indian corporate interest looking at Canada.” India “is becoming more and more strategically inevitable,” he said.
