Terming the relationship with India as "important", Canada`s Defence Minister Bill Blair on Sunday said that his country will continue to pursue partnerships like the Indo-Pacific strategy while the investigation of the killing of a Sikh separatist leader continues.
Tensions flared between India and Canada following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau`s explosive allegations of a "potential" involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, 45, on his country`s soil on June 18 in British Columbia. India had designated Nijjar as a terrorist in 2020.
