A key focus of the renewed engagement is the proposed Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), which both countries are seeking to conclude at the earliest opportunity. According to a statement from the Canadian Prime Minister’s Office, Modi and Carney reaffirmed their commitment to advancing negotiations on the agreement.
The proposed pact is expected to support efforts to double bilateral trade by 2030, creating opportunities for businesses and strengthening economic engagement between the two countries.
Beyond trade, the two leaders are looking to deepen cooperation in energy, technology, security and people-to-people exchanges. Modi’s upcoming visit is expected to provide an opportunity to build on recent diplomatic engagement and identify practical areas for collaboration.
The December 11 to 12, 2026 visit comes at a time when both governments are signalling a willingness to strengthen ties through sustained dialogue and concrete economic and strategic outcomes.
