Fascinating, Frank, and Forward-looking roundtable discussion today at CSDR with our partner @AsiaPacificFdn. @MohanCRaja @VinaNadjibulla & @Ajaybis took stock of PM Mark Carney’s recent visit to Delhi, the resulting joint statement, and its implications for the future directions of the increasingly important India–Canada relationship.
