The India-Canada relations have had to go through a lot of tumultuous times during his period before they have hit rock bottom for which PM Justin Trudeau is singularly responsible. But the kind of politician Trudeau is, one thing seems to be clear: "Elections are Coming" which have provoked immature diplomacy on his part.

This means agreeing to not set taxes on digital trade. While most WTO members supported the extension, India, along with South Africa, strongly opposed it, citing revenue losses, digital inequality, and market domination by global tech giants. India's stance is rooted in the belief that the existing moratorium disproportionately benefits developed countries while restricting developing economies from tapping into vital revenue streams. However, this position, while valid in many respects, also raises concerns about potential disruptions to India's broader digital ambitions, such as its push for Digital India and integration into global value chains.

India is neither an ally nor a NATO country and follows an independent foreign policy geared towards friendship with all. Russia has been a trusted and time tested partner . Given the personal respect and bonhomie between the leaders Pm Modi conveyed to President Putin that war needs to end through dialogue and diplomacy and not on the battlefield .
