Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly reportedly had a secret meeting with Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar in Washington two weeks ago. The meeting was an attempt by Canada to ease tensions with India, as the two countries are still negotiating over India's demand for Canada to withdraw 41 diplomats by today. In light of the tense diplomatic relations, the speaker of Canada's senate will not be attending a Group of 20 event hosted by India this week. The conversation between Canada and India remains private, according to the Canadian foreign minister.
