Canada and India appoint new high commissioners, signaling improved diplomatic ties after a dispute.

Canada and India have appointed new high commissioners to each other's capitals, marking a thaw in their diplomatic relations. Canada's Christopher Cooter and India's Dinesh K Patnaik will serve as high commissioners. Tensions arose after Canada accused India of involvement in a Sikh separatist's killing. Relations began improving in June when both leaders agreed to restore diplomatic ties, including the return of high-level envoys.
