Canada and India announced Thursday they have appointed new high commissioners to each other’s countries, a step towards “deepening” diplomatic ties despite multiple allegations of foreign interference by Indian agents on Canadian soil.

Christopher Cooter, a diplomat with 35 years of experience who served in New Delhi more than 25 years ago, will serve as Canada’s new high commissioner to India, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said.

“The appointment of a new High Commissioner reflects Canada’s step-by-step approach to deepening diplomatic engagement and advancing bilateral cooperation with India,” Anand said in a statement.

“This is an important development toward restoring services for Canadians while strengthening the bilateral relationship to support Canada’s economy.”
