India’s efforts to power its growth using clean energy has received a major boost with Canada agreeing to supply 3,000 metric tonnes of uranium under a $254-million five-year deal. The landmark deal comes four decades after India-Canada ties went adrift over India’s nuclear programme. With this Canada joins Russia and Kazakhstan to supply Uranium to India.
The pact should promote bilateral ties between the two countries and help build bridges of friendship again. Besides, with several agreements in areas like civil aviation, skill development and higher education been signed Modi’s trip has been worth the time and money.
