Canada and India have announced the appointment of new high commissioners to each other's capitals, signaling a restoration of diplomatic relations after a ten-month standoff. The dispute began following the assassination of a Canadian Sikh activist in British Columbia, which Canadian authorities linked to Indian agents. Tensions escalated with mutual expulsions of top diplomats and accusations of interference and violence. Relations began to thaw after a meeting between the Canadian and Indian prime ministers during the summit in Alberta, leading to the decision to reinstate high-level diplomatic representation. The newly appointed envoys are expected to help rebuild trust and cooperation between the two countries.
