Jaishankar praises Indian community in Canada's Saskatchewan province

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar praised the Indian community in Canada’s Saskatchewan province and welcomed Premier Scott Moe to the 9th Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi. Jaishankar lauded the Indians for serving as a bridge between the two nations and expressed his appreciation for Premier Moe’s support for their partnership.

Saskatchewan is home to 15,660 Indians, and from 2016 to 2021, immigrants from India made up 18.4% of total immigrants moving into the province. The province’s exports to India stand at more than $1 billion and roughly make up a third of Canada’s total exports to the country.

Premier Moe had led a high-level delegation to India in March last year and met Union Science and Technology Minister Jitendra Singh. During the meeting, a discussion was held on cooperation and joint ventures in areas like electric vehicles, quantum technologies, green hydrogen fuel, and deep ocean mining, among others.

The Raisina Dialogue, India’s premier conference on geopolitics and geoeconomics, will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday. The flagship conference will witness the participation of representatives from over 100 countries and over 2,500 participants from about 115 countries.

Foreign Ministers Lyonpo D.N. Dhungyel from Bhutan, Gabrielius Landsbergis from Lithuania, and Margus Tsahkna from Estonia have also arrived in New Delhi for the dialogue. The theme of the 2024 edition is “Chaturanga: Conflict, Contest, Cooperate, Create.”
