India-Canada relations going through difficult phase, says EAM Jaishankar
Minister of External Affairs (MEA) S Jaishankar on Sunday said that the government had invoked parity with Canada in diplomatic presence as they had “concerns about continuous interference in our affairs by Canadian personnel”.
While speaking at the Kautilya Economic Conclave closing plenary session, Jaishankar said: “Parity is very much provided for by the Vienna Convention, which is the relevant international rule on this.

The external affairs minister also said that India is likely to resume issuance of visas to Canadians if it sees progress in the safety of Indian diplomats in Canada.
