PM Modi highlighted five priority areas for collaboration: clean energy (including nuclear energy and critical minerals), infrastructure (with significant Canadian pension fund investments in India), Artificial Intelligence (AI) for joint compute corridors and innovation sandboxes, manufacturing and technology, and food processing. The leaders stressed the importance of sub-national partnerships, linking Canadian provinces like Canada===Alberta and Canada===Ontario with Indian states such as India===Gujarat, India===Rajasthan, India===Tamil Nadu, India===Maharashtra, India===Bengaluru, and India===Hyderabad, to foster policy-to-prosperity transformation. This strategic partnership is seen as creating a combined economic force of over $6 trillion, driven by shared ambitions and democratic values.
