MEA: Canada yet to give proof on Nijjar

The three Indians arrested by Canadian police for role in the murder of Hardeep Nijjar have not sought consular access so far, said the MEA, while reiterating that India had not been provided any “specific” proof or information regar-ding the case.

The focal point of their talks was the technology and security initiative, a pivotal bilateral platform aimed at bolstering collaboration in critical and emerging technologies between India and the UK, said MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal.

Both NSAs discussed a roadmap to take forward the initiative to address shared security challenges. They also deliberated on bilateral issues of mutual interest and exchanged views on regional and global matters, said Jaiswal. Later, Barrow met External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar who posted on X, “Good to meet UK NSA Tim Barrow today in Delhi. Discussed a range of regional and global issues of importance. Also reviewed the progress in our bilateral ties.’’
