In a post on X, Jaishankar said he was delighted to meet the Canadian leader during his visit to the capital and welcomed the opportunity to deepen cooperation. On Sunday evening, Jaishankar also met Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand to discuss bilateral matters. Prime Minister Carney arrived in the national capital on Sunday evening after completing engagements in Mumbai, marking the second leg of his official visit to India from 27 February to 2 March. This is his first official trip to the country since assuming office.

The high-level talks at Hyderabad House will include a review of progress under the India–Canada Strategic Partnership. According to a statement from the Ministry of External Affairs, discussions will focus on trade and investment, energy cooperation, critical minerals, agriculture, education, research and innovation, and people-to-people exchanges.

Building on their earlier meetings in Kananaskis and Johannesburg last year, both Prime Ministers are expected to assess ongoing collaboration and outline future priorities. In addition to formal talks, they will participate in the India–Canada CEOs Forum. The visit comes at a crucial juncture as both countries seek to stabilise and revitalise bilateral relations through constructive engagement.
