Canada-India defence collaboration for a secure future

Canada is seeing an historic shift for our country — one that opens new opportunities for relations between Canada and India. Speaking at CANSEC 2026, Canada’s leading defence, security and emerging technology event, on May 27, 2026, Prime Minister Mark Carney said: “The very nature of war is rapidly evolving, driven by the proliferation of drones, autonomous systems, and weapons in orbit. Conflicts could emerge closer to our borders than before, and new weapons are reducing the distance that separates us from them. The world has changed, and Canada must change with it. That is why, six weeks after forming the government, we announced our ambitious plan to rebuild, rearm, and reinvest in the Canadian Armed Forces.”
