The leaders of India and Canada on Tuesday held their first bilateral meeting since then-Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused New Delhi in 2023 of involvement in the killing of a Canadian Sikh separatist.

India and Canada agreed Tuesday to return ambassadors to each other's capitals, turning the page on a bitter spat over an assassination as Canada's new leader welcomed counterpart Narendra Modi.

After nearly two years of heated dispute over New Delhi's alleged involvement in the killing of a Canadian Sikh separatist, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met in Ottawa.
