Foreign Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar has met Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand. Both the leaders have expressed hope to further strengthen the bilateral partnership. Foreign Minister S Jaishankar also posted about this on social media platform X. This meeting of the two leaders took place in Niagara on the sidelines of the G-7.
S. Jaishankar said in a social media post that he congratulated Anita Anand for hosting the G-7 Foreign Ministers’ meeting and appreciated the progress in the implementation of the new Roadmap 2025. He said, ‘We hope to further strengthen our bilateral partnership.’
Anita Anand has also posted on Instagram, in which she said that the two leaders discussed cooperation on trade, energy, security and people-to-people ties. The Ministry of External Affairs said on Tuesday (November 11, 2025), ‘The participation of the External Affairs Minister in the G-7 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting reflects India’s continued commitment to work with international partners to address global challenges and strengthen the voice of the Global South at international forums.’
Canada has invited Australia, Brazil, India, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, South Korea, South Africa and Ukraine for the G-7 meeting. Canada had said only last week that the G-7 summit would discuss global economic and security challenges, including maritime security and prosperity, economic resilience, energy security and critical minerals.
Dr. S. Jaishankar’s visit to Canada comes a month after Anita Anand’s visit to India, when both sides unveiled an ambitious roadmap to boost ties in the areas of trade, critical minerals and energy.
In their meeting, the two Foreign Ministers agreed to initiate ministerial discussions on bilateral trade and investment at the earliest, keeping in mind global economic realities and each other’s strategic priorities.
