Mark Carney, the recently elected leader of Canada’s Liberal Party, has stated that he wants to restore relations with India, which have been strained under departing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The 59-year-old, who is generally projected to become Canada’s next Prime Minister, has placed a high priority on improving trade and diplomatic relations with India. Speaking in Calgary this week, he emphasised the necessity of developing commerce with friendly countries and highlighted the importance of re-establishing ties with India.
“What Canada will seek to do is diversify its commercial partnerships with like-minded countries. And there are chances to rebuild relationships with India—there must be a common sense of values underlying the commercial engagement. Carney stated, “If I am Prime Minister, I look forward to the opportunity to build that.”
Despite being fresh to electoral politics, Carney has spent decades in finance, assisting governments in navigating economic crises. His leadership is likely to take a practical approach to policymaking. On Sunday, he was voted to lead Canada’s Liberal Party in the 2018 federal election.
Additionally, Carney declared in a bold remark that Canada will never be a part of America and promised to sustain punitive tariffs against the US.
