G20: Business council CEO weighs in on Canada-India relations
BNN Bloomberg
Canadian and Indian businesses can benefit from partnerships with each other, even as politics between the two nations becomes increasingly fraught, according to the CEO of the Business Council of Canada.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his delegation were recently in New Delhi for the annual G20 summit, where Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi scolded his Canadian counterpart over Sikh protests in Canada. Trudeau’s government has also paused trade talks with India.
Goldy Hyder, president and CEO of the Business Council of Canada, called relations between the two countries “fragile,” but he added that Canadian industries still need India for growth.
“From a business perspective, we’ve got to carry on, it’s just too big of a market,” he said in a recent television interview.
