00:00Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is on a four-day visit to India to rebuild ties after years of tension
00:05between the two countries.
00:06Carney met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Monday and agreed on a long-term uranium supply deal
00:12and revived long-stall trade talks.
00:15The two nations want to diversify their trade partnership and curb their dependency on the US.
00:20Carney kicked off his visit to India this weekend with a visit to Mumbai, where he met with Indian leaders
00:25in business and education.
00:27The visit comes against the backdrop of a worsening conflict in the Middle East following coordinated strikes by the US
00:34and Israel on Iran, which has killed the supreme leader of that country.
00:38Carney travels to Australia next and then Japan, where he's trying to show up support among so-called middle powers.
00:45The big question is whether these partnerships are strong enough to counter the new world shaped by US President Donald
00:51Trump and the fallout from tensions in the Middle East.
