The talks between India and Canada for a free trade agreement are on a pause as the latter stopped discussions due to some misconceptions, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said in one of the leadership summits organised by a leading media company.
“There are some misconceptions among some Canadian politicians, which are baseless,” said Goyal at the summit.
The relationship between the two countries has deteriorated since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused New Delhi of orchestrating the killing of a Khalistani terrorist in British Columbia. The claim has been denied by India.
Goyal said that the step would hurt Canada more as India’s market is big and offers more opportunities. He added talks with the UK around the agreement are progressing steadily.
