Amid controversial comments of Candian Prime Minister Truedau, and PM Modi not being able to come into middle grounds with Trudeau during the G20 Summit.

The two countries are learnt to have “paused” their negotiations on a bilateral free trade agreement.

Confirming this, a senior government official said that India-Canada talks on a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) are expected to resume after the resolution of the issues between the two countries, as reported by the IndianExpress.

“There were certain political developments in Canada on which India has also raised its objection… for the time being (till) these political developments are settled, we have paused the negotiations with Canada. But the moment these political issues are sorted out, the talks will resume. It is only a pause. There is no break, there is only pause,” said the official.

Due to issues of Khalistan in Canada, there has been strain between the relation of the two countries.

In July, India had summoned the Canadian envoy and issued a demarche, days after posters naming senior Indian diplomats posted in Canada came up in some areas there.

Before the start of the G20 Summit, sections of the Canadian media had reported that Ottawa had sought a pause in the trade negotiations.

“He (Modi) conveyed our strong concerns about continuing anti-India activities of extremist elements in Canada. They are promoting secessionism and inciting violence against Indian diplomats, damaging diplomatic premises, and threatening the Indian community in Canada and their places of worship,” the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in a readout after G20 meeting.

Seems like Trudeau hasn't learn his lesson.
