India and Canada on Monday sealed key pacts on supplies of uranium and critical minerals and vowed to soon conclude a comprehensive economic partnership agreement, with PMs Modi and Carney finalising a new framework to shore up ties including taking bilateral annual trade to USD 50 billion by 2030
In their wide-ranging talks, the two leaders also pledged to ramp up cooperation in defence, critical technologies, small and modular nuclear reactors, education, and renewable energy as Modi said the relations between the two countries are now filled with new energy, mutual trust, and positivity
Canada is set to support India's civil nuclear energy sector under the USD 2.6 billion uranium supply agreement
Modi and Carney also deliberated on the precarious security situation in West Asia with PM Modi asserting that India supports the resolution of all conflicts through dialogue and diplomacy
The major outcomes of the Modi-Carney talks were their decision to expand trade relations, a move that comes amid Canada's increasingly frosty economic ties with the Trump administration.
