Sunak calls for de-escalation of India-Canada row
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, during a telephonic conversation with his Canadian counterpart, said that he hopes to see a de-escalation of the India-Canada row.
"Prime Minister Trudeau updated on the situation relating to Canadian diplomats in India," read the Downing Street statement.
"The Prime Minister [Sunak] reaffirmed the UK's position that all countries should respect sovereignty and the rule of law, including the principles of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. He hoped to see a de-escalation in the situation and agreed to remain in contact with Prime Minister Trudeau on the next steps," it said.
Sunak also reaffirmed the UK's position that all countries should respect sovereignty and the rule of law, including the principles of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
The diplomatic relations between India and Canada disintegrated after the Canadian government expelled a senior Indian diplomat accusing New Delhi's involvement in the assassination of Khalistani separatist leader, Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil.
In the aftermath, India swiftly retaliated by issuing a statement that denied any involvement in the issue and expelled a senior Canadian diplomat.
