Amid the deteriorating relations between India and Canada, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is trying to safeguard the relations between the two countries. He said, "Canada is still committed to "building closer ties with India, despite "credible" allegations that the Indian government was involved in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

“India is a growing economic power and important geopolitical player. And as we presented with our Indo-Pacific strategy just last year, we’re very serious about building closer ties with India,” Trudeau said at a press conference in Montreal.

He added, “At the same time, obviously, as a rule of law country, we need to emphasise that India needs to work with Canada to ensure that we get the full facts of this matter.”

Trudeau further said that he thinks it is "extremely important" that Canada and its allies continue to engage "constructively and seriously" with India, Canadian media National Post reported.

Trudeau said his country is "moving forward in a thoughtful, responsible way anchored in the rule of law" with all of our partners, including in our approach to the Government of India.
