Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a resolute plea for peace as Middle East tensions, including the Iran-US shadow war, intensify. From New Delhi, during a high-profile joint media interaction with Canadian PM Mark Carney, he outlined India’s clear vision for a stable world order.
‘Our position is unambiguous—we champion peace and steadiness everywhere,’ Modi stated firmly. Voicing profound apprehension about West Asia’s unrest, he pledged India’s support for diplomatic resolutions. Protecting expatriate Indians remains a priority, with ongoing collaboration across borders.
The summit yielded concrete outcomes in security domains. Leaders agreed to launch the India-Canada Defence Dialogue, targeting advancements in defence tech, ocean surveillance, and troop interactions. This framework promises to deepen military interoperability.
A stark warning on transnational threats followed. Modi described terrorism, militancy, and fanaticism as universal perils demanding unified action. ‘Battling these together safeguards not only our countries but all humankind,’ he asserted.
Modi lauded the trajectory of India-Canada ties, attributing renewed vigor and positivity to Carney’s stewardship. United by democratic ethos and a collective goal for human upliftment, they discussed elevating partnerships across the board.
On Carney’s landmark first visit, Modi extended a heartfelt welcome, mirroring the affection from the prior G7 in Canada. This rendezvous underscores a maturing alliance poised for impactful global contributions.
