New Delhi, The latest diplomatic row between India and Canada is not going to impact the ongoing bilateral military engagement and the matter has to be resolved at the political level, Canada's Deputy Army Chief Major General Peter <keyword id="6372795" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="scott" source="Orion">Scott</keyword> said on Tuesday. Scott is leading a Canadian delegation at the <keyword id="1551039" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="indo-pacific" source="Orion">Indo-Pacific</keyword> Army Chiefs' Conference (IPACC) here that is being attended by military delegations from over 30 countries. "To the best of my knowledge at this time, that is not going to have an impact on us. We leave the matter at hand to the political level to try and resolve," he told PTI. "We are happy to be here and we do not see the issue clouding matters at this point at all," Major General Scott said. The ties between India and Canada came under severe strain following Canadian Prime Minister <keyword id="1740494" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="justin-trudeau" source="Orion">Justin Trudeau</keyword>'s allegations of a "potential" involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistani separatist <keyword id="7575364" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="hardeep-singh-nijjar" source="Orion">Hardeep Singh Nijjar</keyword> in June. India has rejected the allegations as "absurd" and "motivated" and expelled a senior Canadian diplomat in a tit-for-tat move to Ottawa's expulsion of an Indian official over the case. "This is an issue between both our countries at a political level. And certainly our Prime Minister...he rose at the House of Commons and made a statement requesting India's cooperation on the independent investigation that is currently ongoing at this time," the Canadian Army official said. "Between both of our armies, this is not affecting us. I spoke to your commander of the Army (Army Chief Gen Manoj Pande) last night. We both agreed that this is a political issue and has no interference on our relationship," he said. "As two armies we look for opportunities among other 30 nations that are currently participating in this conference to find areas where we can cooperate, train together, conduct exercises and operations so that we all can contribute to ensuring peace, stability within the region," Major General Scott said. "The way we see right now is that we will continue to cooperate, discuss, and enjoy great forums like this where we can exchange ideas and find solutions to the difficulties facing a lot of the Indo-Pacific nations," he said. The Indian Army is hosting the two-day conclave of Indo-Pacific army chiefs to evolve a common strategy to ensure peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. In his opening address at the conference, Chief of Army Staff Gen Pande said India's outlook for the Indo-Pacific emphasises respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity of all nations.

It said, "Recently, threats have particularly targeted Indian diplomats and sections of the Indian community who oppose the anti-India agenda."

The MEA said the Indian High Commission and consulates general will continue to be in contact with the Canadian authorities to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the Indian community in Canada.

Indian government's stance The MEA said that allegations were raised by Trudeau when he was in India to attend the G20 Summit and that PM Modi had rejected them. MEA spokesperson <keyword id="10953867" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Arindam-Bagchi" source="Orion">Arindam Bagchi</keyword> said that Canada has not shared any specific information regarding the allegations and that India is asking Canada to take action against those facing charges related to terrorism."We are willing to look at any specific information that is provided to us, but so far we have received no specific information from Canada," Bagchi said on Thursday answering queries. "We are willing to look at any specific information that is provided to us, but so far we have received no specific information from Canada," Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said on Thursday answering queries. Moreover, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also took questions about Canada's tensions with India during a press conference. On sharing evidence, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau said, "Canada has a rigorous and independent justice system, that we trust, to follow through the processes, we will ensure that those processes are strictly, abided by and respected." Regarding the safety of Canadians, he said, "I can tell everyone that Canada is a safe country. We always take Canadians' safety seriously, whether they are at home or abroad." "Canada has a rigorous and independent justice system, that we trust, to follow through the processes, we will ensure that those processes are strictly, abided by and respected. In terms of safety in Canada and the safety of Canadians, we always take the safety of Canadians extremely seriously, whether at home or overseas, I can assure everyone that Canada is a safe country," Trudeau said, while adding, "I continue to call, for calm, and for Canadians to remain true to who we are, open, respectful, grounded in, respect and trust in our institutions and, our law enforcement and justice systems." Speaking further, the Canadian PM repeated his allegations over the killing of the Khalistani leader and stated, "I think it's extremely important that as a country with a strong and independent justice system. We allow those justice processes to unfold themselves with the utmost integrity. But I can assure you, the decision to share these allegations on the floor of the House of Commons was not made lightly. It was done with utmost seriousness..." Nijjar, the chief of Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) - a Sikh extremist organisation banned by India and a "designated terrorist" was killed in a targeted shooting at British Columbia in Canada's Surrey in June 2018. India, however, rejected the allegations by the Trudeau administration, terming them "absurd" and "motivated". "We have seen and reject the statement of the Canadian Prime Minister in their Parliament, as also the statement by their Foreign Minister," the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in a statement. "Allegations of Government of India's involvement in any act of violence in Canada are absurd and motivated," the MEA added in its statement. "Similar allegations were made by the Canadian Prime Minister to our Prime Minister and were completely rejected. We are a democratic polity with a strong commitment to the rule of law," it added. Diplomatic action India on Tuesday expelled a senior Canadian diplomat in a reciprocal move to Canada expelling a senior Indian diplomat in light of the claim of New Delhi's involvement in the killing of the wanted separatist leader. The MEA said that the Canadian diplomat was asked to leave India within the next five days. "The High Commissioner of Canada to India was summoned today and informed about the decision of the Government of India to expel a senior Canadian diplomat based in India," the MEA stated. "The concerned diplomat has been asked to leave India within the next five days. The decision reflects the Government of India's growing concern at the interference of Canadian diplomats in our internal matters and their involvement in anti-India activities," it added.

Canada's UN representative decided, however, to post copies of the letter to Twitter, and made edits in red ink. In the edited letter, Canada slammed Russia for being the "primary cause" of war in Ukraine, "bombing schools and hospitals," violating international law, and more. "Thank you [Russia] for your letter dated March 16. Please see our suggested edits below," Canada tweeted, including a copy of the letter with the edits. "We want you to know just how little we care about the human life that we have destroyed in Ukraine, and how much disdain we have for you, the membership of the UN, and for this entire institution," Canada said at the end of the letter, mocking Russia for its ongoing bombardment of civilians across Ukraine. Dmitry Polyanskiy, Russia's deputy permanent representative to the UN, lashed out at Canada on Twitter and made fun of the country for not being on the Security Council for over two decades."Thank you [Canada] for this kindergarten-level Russophobic libel!" Polyanskiy wrote. "It only shows that your diplomatic skills and good manners are at lowest ebb and gives an idea why your country's bid for a non-permanent seat in #SecurityCouncil was voted down twice in 20yrs by UN membership."He then added a thumbs-down emoji to conclude the tweet.

In a phone call with Meng - who's also the daughter of Huawei billionaire founder Ren Zhengfei - Cong said Canada should face its "serious mistakes" and acknowledge the "political nature" of the incident. Cong urged Canada to make the "correct decision" to release Meng as soon as possible, according to a statement released by<a href="http://ca.china-embassy.org/chn/xw/t1901890.htm"> Chinese Embassy in Canada</a>. Cong went on to tell Meng that "any attempt to bully or oppress the Chinese people will inevitably be hit hard.""The Chinese government resolutely safeguards the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens and enterprises," he added. August 26 marks a thousand days since Meng was detained by Canadian authorities at the Vancouver International Airport in December 2018 at the behest of the United States, reported <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2018/12/05/tech/huawei-cfo-arrested-canada/index.html">CNN</a>. US authorities have charged Meng with bank fraud.The charges stem from a meeting <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/huawei-cfo-arrest-who-is-meng-wanzhou-2018-12">Meng</a> had with a senior HSBC executive on August 22, 2013. She is suspected of violating US trade sanctions on Iran by failing to disclose Huawei's control over a company called Skycom, which sold equipment to Iran, in order to get the bank to process the company's financial transactions. Both Meng and Huawei have denied the accusations. The arrest ramped up <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-demands-canada-release-arrested-huawei-cfo-meng-wanzhou-2018-12">diplomatic tensions</a> between the two countries. Days after Meng was arrested, the Chinese government detained two Canadians in Beijing - Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig- on espionage charges. Spavor was sentenced to 11 years by a Chinese court earlier this month, reported <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/11/michael-spavor-verdict-canada-china-trial-court">The Guardian</a>.Meng's trial to determine whether she is extradited to the US came to a close on August 19, but it may be months before a decision is made. Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes adjourned the hearing and said she would announce a date for her ruling on October 21, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/19/huawei-cfos-us-extradition-hearings-in-canada-end-ruling-date-set.html.">CNBC</a> reported. If the extradition goes through, and the 49-year-old is transferred to the US to stand trial, she could face more than 30 years in prison if convicted, according to <a href="https://sg.news.yahoo.com/huawei-execs-extradition-hearing-canada-001144541.html">AFP</a>. Huawei told Insider it does not have a comment for now, but reiterated from a previous statement that "from the start, Huawei has been confident in Ms. Meng's innocence and has trusted the Canadian judicial system," adding "Huawei has been supporting Ms. Meng's pursuit of justice and freedom. We continue to do so today."
