S Jaishankar met Anita Anand, highlighting productive talks and steady progress in India-Canada relations.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Saturday met his Canadian counterpart Anita Anand, signalling continued improvement in bilateral ties between the two countries.

In a post on X, Jaishankar said, “Was great to sit down and catch up with FM @AnitaAnandMP of Canada. India-Canada ties continue their steady progress."

Jaishankar also shared a photograph from the meeting showing him with Anand.

Jaishankar also met his counterparts from the G7 countries as he reiterated India’s support for reform of the UN Security Council (UNSC) at the Munich Security Conference.

The meeting comes after India concluded a free trade agreement (FTA) with the 27-nation European Union in January.

In a social media post, Jaishankar said he was pleased to engage with G7 Foreign Ministers and reiterated India’s support of the UN@80 agenda, particularly meaningful reform of the UN Security Council.

The external affairs minister said he emphasised India’s role in “safeguarding sea lines of communication, serving as a first responder, strengthening port security, and contributing to resilient submarine cable infrastructure".

“Our conversation brought out the many convergences and shared interests between India and the G7," the minister added.

Jaishankar kicked off his participation at the Munich Security Conference with a roundtable titled “Delhi Decided: Mapping India’s Policy Calculus", hosted by the non-partisan Ananta Aspen Centre.

The external affairs minister said he highlighted the “importance of a nimble and dynamic foreign policy to meet the demands of multipolarity".

The 62nd Munich Security Conference is being held from February 13 to 15, with nearly 50 heads of state and government expected to attend. The gathering includes leaders from across Europe, along with a sizable German delegation headed by Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
