In-Conversation with H.E. Anita Anand, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada

India and Canada are at a consequential moment in their bilateral relationship, with recent diplomatic re-engagement creating space for a more steady, forward-looking partnership anchored in shared economic and strategic interests. At a time of global turbulence -- when trade pacts, critical minerals, digital standards, energy transitions, and talent mobility are increasingly shaping geopolitical influence -- both countries have an opportunity to align on practical cooperation and build resilience across the Indo-Pacific and beyond. Against this backdrop, the Observer Research Foundation is pleased to convene a public conversation with the Honourable Anita Anand, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada, on strengthening India-Canada economic diplomacy and positioning the partnership for the decade ahead.
