India stresses on ‘parity in mutual diplomatic presence’ as Canada suspends visa & consular services in Bengaluru, Chandigarh & Mumbai

Friday, 20 October 2023

In a statement released on Friday, the ministry of external affairs stated, "We acknowledge the statement made by the Canadian government on October 19 concerning their diplomatic presence in India. Given the state of our bilateral relations, the significantly higher number of Canadian diplomats stationed in India, and their ongoing involvement in our internal matters, it is justifiable to seek diplomatic parity in both New Delhi and Ottawa."
