Prime Minister Narendra Modi held bilateral talks with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Evian on June 16, 2026, in a meeting that signaled a measured reset of ties between the two countries.
India and Canada have navigated a period of diplomatic strain following a series of exchanges over alleged interference and security allegations. The Modi-Carney meeting was seen as an effort by both sides to stabilize the relationship and identify practical areas for reengagement.
Officials said discussions covered trade, education and diaspora-related concerns, though neither government released a detailed communique. The meeting followed Carney’s earlier session with Ukrainian President Zelensky, underscoring Canada’s active diplomatic presence at the summit.
Analysts noted that both leaders had incentives to move past the frictions that characterized the final period of Justin Trudeau’s government. A constructive meeting did not resolve underlying tensions but indicated both capitals preferred managed diplomacy over public confrontation.
