The decision reflects a renewed strategic partnership between the two countries, focusing on trade, defence, energy, and security cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The development came after a high-level meeting between <strong>Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney<\/strong> on the sidelines of the G7 Summit held in Evian-les-Bains, France. Both leaders reviewed the progress of bilateral relations and emphasized building a more stable and structured framework of cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Launch_of_Security_Pact_Talks_GSOIA\"><\/span><strong>Launch of Security Pact Talks (GSOIA)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most important outcomes of the meeting is the decision to begin negotiations on the <strong>General Security of Information Agreement (GSOIA)<\/strong>. This agreement is expected to improve intelligence sharing, strengthen national security cooperation, and enhance coordination in tackling transnational threats such as terrorism, cybercrime, and organized crime networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For India, this agreement is crucial as it expands security collaboration with a major G7 nation. For Canada, it provides stronger mechanisms to address security challenges linked to global networks and cross-border threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Progress_on_India-Canada_CEPA_Trade_Agreement\"><\/span><strong>Progress on India-Canada CEPA Trade Agreement<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside security cooperation, both countries have reaffirmed their commitment to concluding the <strong>Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA)<\/strong> by 2026. The proposed trade pact aims to significantly enhance bilateral trade and investment flows between India and Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CEPA is expected to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reduce trade barriers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expand market access for goods and services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Boost investment opportunities in key sectors such as clean energy, technology, and agriculture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strengthen supply chain integration between the two economies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This agreement is also
