Anita Sharma, in relation to India, said that with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visit to the US and with Tech Titans, the US is sending a message to China that technology is transforming and that the US is finding a new partner in India.
With regard to China, Sharma said China's premier coming out saying China still wants to be America's factory and warehouse and wants to work with America ignoring the geopolitical issues.
Meanwhile, Melissa Lantsman said that human rights abuses against Uyghurs in China, allegations of interference in Canadian elections and the regime in Beijing's hostage diplomacy with Canada have posed some bigger questions on Canada's relationships with China.
She mentioned India having huge young talents and Canada's welcoming approach towards them.
She emphasised that if Canada wants to be the leader of Technological change then Canada should be partnering with countries like India which have shared values.
She added that Canada has lost core diplomatic relations with India and stressed that Canada's relationship with India "should have been better, they could have been better and again one day they will be better."
In her concluding remarks, Anita said that the US is deeply involved with India and Silicon Valley is proof of that. (ANI)
