Italy to prioritise climate, carbon neutrality during its G-20 presidency in 2021: Conte

In a post on X, Jaishankar said, "Appreciate the phone conversation with DPM & FM Antonio Tajani of Italy. Discussed the situation in West Asia."

During the meeting, participants highlighted the long-standing ties between Italy and Tibet, noting that cultural exchanges between the two date back to the 17th and 18th centuries. At that time, Italian Jesuit and Capuchin missionaries travelled to Lhasa, where they studied the Tibetan language and produced some of the earliest Tibetan-Italian dictionaries.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney arrived in Mumbai with his wife to kick off a "significant" visit to India. Aiming to reset ties, he will meet business leaders and PM Narendra Modi to expand cooperation in trade and AI, targeting 50 billion USD in bilateral trade by 2030.

He said, "Over the last nine months we were very successful in completing Indonesia Ecuador UAE and getting access to EU defence procurement initiatives hundreds of billions of dollars of export opportunities. We're the only non-EU country to get part of that deal. Again coming back to India you know back in November both leaders had met at the G20 Prime Minister Carney and Prime Minister Modi to signal that we both want an FTA with each other and so this trip is about our first round launching negotiations and so hopefully concluding this year an FTA. We both know that FTAs-- free trade agreements--will unlock opportunities it presents stability, reliability for businesses, it sends a signal to them and you've just looking at the facts free trade leads to more opportunities more trade and more jobs for workers."

Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand said on Monday that she will accompany Prime Minister Mark Carney on his visit to India later this month and noted that the two countries will further diversify trade and unlock more opportunities.
