Canadian PM Mark Carney likely to visit India in early March, India’s envoy to Canada says

Canadian PM Mark Carney is set to visit India in March to discuss trade agreements and strengthen bilateral relations.

Canada’s ‍Prime Minister Mark Carney will likely visit India the first week of March and sign deals on uranium, energy, minerals, and Artificial Intelligence, Dinesh Patnaik, India’s ​High Commissioner to Canada, said in an interview.

Mr. Carney is making all out efforts to diversify Canada’s alliances beyond the U.S., ‌its top trade partner. In Davos last week, he earned a rare standing ovation for saying the ​old rules-based order is over and called on middle powers like Canada to build coalitions to shape a fairer, more resilient world. His viral speech followed an agreement with China to slash tariffs on electric vehicles and canola, and open up to Canadian $7 billion ($5.11 billion) in export markets as he tries to double non-U.S. exports over the next decade.

Mr. Carney is also resetting relations with India after his predecessor Justin Trudeau accused the Indian government of involvement in the killing of a Sikh separatist leader in 2023. India has denied those claims.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the G7 summit on Mr. Carney’s invitation in 2025, and several of Mr. Carney’s Ministers have travelled ​to India.

“I have a feeling in the first week of March is what we are looking at,” India’s High ⁠Commissioner Mr. Patnaik said on Mr. Carney’s visit during a weekend interview. Mr. Carney’s office declined to comment.

Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Sunday (January 25, 2026), Mr. Carney would visit Australia in March to address Parliament. Canada’s Energy Minister Tim Hodgson is visiting India this week and said the timing of Mr. Carney’s trip was not yet set.
