Canadian Diplomats Leave India As Tensions Remain

CANADA
  • Diplomatic tensions between Canada and India have ratcheted up further, with CBC News reporting that a large number of Canadian diplomats left India overnight.
  • “The departures followed two weeks of negotiations between India and Canada after India issued a demand for "parity" in the number of diplomats present in the two countries, a source with knowledge of the situation told CBC News.”
  • India has claimed to have 21 accredited diplomats in Canada vs Canada's 62 in India. From CBC: “New Delhi gave Canada until October 10 to withdraw 41 diplomats to make the two diplomatic contingents equal in size. If the diplomats remained in the country, India said, they would lose their diplomatic immunity from arrest and prosecution.”
