India and Canada are improving their bilateral ties after months of tensions over the murder of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. A former Canadian national security advisor acknowledged that India is now cooperating with Canada in the ongoing probe, describing the changing relationship as an "evolution." This is the first time a Canadian official has acknowledged India's progress. The improved relationship is connected to the US indictment against Nikhil Gupta, which supported Canada's position. Canada is working towards a healthier relationship with India, with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police investigating Nijjar's case.
