“For ACITI, the renewed momentum in Canada–India relations strengthens the foundation for co-operation in advanced technologies including clean energy and critical minerals. Since mid-2025, bilateral engagement has strengthened through high-level meetings at the G7 and G20, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s March 2026 visit to India, and progress toward a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA). Co-operation is also shifting toward energy transition and supply chain resilience, including through the Strategic Energy Partnership, uranium supply agreements, critical minerals co-operation, and growing academic, research, and innovation linkages.”
“Canada–Australia relations have also expanded in recent years, moving toward greater co-ordination in industrial strategy and supply chain development. Carney’s March 2026 visit to Australia marked a turning point, which resulted in agreements spanning critical minerals, clean energy, and emerging technologies, alongside increased collaboration on investment and innovation. For ACITI, this relationship highlights the importance of aligning resource development, processing capacity, and technology co-operation across trusted partners.”
“The Australia–India relationship demonstrates how institutionalized co-operation can support long-term co-ordination across strategic sectors relevant to ACITI. The India–Australia Economic Co-operation and Trade Agreement (ECTA), in force since December 2022, has strengthened economic ties by improving market access and expanding trade and services flows. This has been complemented by alignment under the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and continued engagement through platforms such as the G20 and the Quad, reinforcing co-operation on economic resilience and regional stability.”
