"India-UK Vision 2035" which will steer the bilateral ties for the next 10 years with a focused and time-bound programme of action in key pillars such as economy and growth, technology and innovation, defence and security, climate action and education.
According to the "India-UK Vision 2035," both nations, building on strong foundations, will establish an intellectual partnership that is responsive to emerging opportunities, adapts to the rapid advancement of technology, and strengthens collaboration in education and research, which will create a skilled and forward-looking talent pool, ready to address global challenges and contribute to a safe and sustainable future for all.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar is visiting Canada from November 11 to 13 to participate in the G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting with Outreach Partners, at the invitation of Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs Anita Anand, according to an official statement by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).
EAM's participation in the G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting reflects India's continued commitment to working with international partners in addressing global challenges and bolstering the voice of the Global South in international fora.
Jaishankar is also expected to hold bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting, the statement added.
The G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting is taking place in Niagara, a picturesque area in Canada known for its iconic Falls, on November 11 and 12.
The gathering brings together ministers from G7 member countries Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union along with several outreach nations including India, Australia, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, South Korea, South Africa, and Ukraine.
The invitation to India was formally extended last month when Canada's Foreign Minister, Anita Anand, travelled to New Delhi and met with her Indian counterpart, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar.
During their discussions, both leaders reiterated their mutual goal to restore confidence and enhance cooperation across key areas of engagement.
The current visit also comes in the backdrop of the July meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Canadian counterpart, Mark Carney, which helped set the stage for a reset in bilateral relations that had faced significant strain during 2023-24.
