Congress Leader Jairam Ramesh, too, expressed hope for better India-Canada relations under his Prime Ministership.
In a post on X, he said, “Mark Carney, who has won a remarkable victory for the Liberal Party in Canada, has been the Governor of the Central Bank of two countries. He is a highly accomplished finance professional and I remember his passionate commitment to multilateralism as well as to climate change issues especially.

Canadian news outlet CTV News has projected that Carney and the Liberal Party will retain power, winning enough seats in the 45th federal election to form the government. Carney had taken over the leadership from Justin Trudeau, who resigned towards the end of his term after losing the confidence of his party. (ANI)
