根据国际贸易部长曼尼德·西杜的说法，加拿大30年来最大规模的对印度贸易代表团已促成约30项价值3亿美元的商业合作伙伴关系。
Canada’s largest trade mission to India in 30 years has netted about 30 commercial partnerships worth $300 million, according to International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu.
“这是一个我们无法忽视的市场，”西杜本周在孟买接受CBC新闻采访时表示。
"It’s a market we can’t ignore," Sidhu told CBC News in an interview in Mumbai this week.
西杜正率领一个由300人组成的“加拿大团队”，在新德里、孟买和班加罗尔进行为期一周的贸易推介，旨在将加拿大企业和产业与印度企业联系起来。

此次访问是加拿大争取在12月中旬前达成重要贸易协定CEPA（全面经济伙伴关系协定）的前奏，届时印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪预计将访问加拿大。加拿大希望降低印度的关税，包括对豆类和钾肥等商品的关税。
It's the prelude to a significant trade pact, CEPA (Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement), which Canada is racing to conclude before mid-December, when India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit Canada. Canada is looking to bring down Indian tariffs, including on commodities such as pulses and potash.
国际贸易部长曼尼德·西杜谈印度关税 31分钟前 时长 此次加拿大代表团的访问反映了加中印关系的重大转变，三年前该关系因贾斯廷·特鲁多政府称情报显示“有可信的指控”将印度政府特工与不列颠哥伦比亚省一名锡克教分离主义领袖的致命枪击案联系起来而破裂。印度政府称这些说法“荒谬”，由此引发政治和外交紧张。加拿大驱逐了一名印度外交官，印度随后也采取了对等行动。
International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu on Indian tariffs 31 minutes ago Duration The Team Canada mission reflects a significant shift in Canadian-Indian relations, which ruptured three years ago after Justin Trudeau's government said intelligence showed "credible allegations" linking Indian government agents to the fatal shooting of a Sikh separatist leader in B.C. India’s government called the claims "absurd," touching off political and diplomatic tensions. Canada expelled a diplomat, India followed suit.

潘特表示，双方都在努力应对恐怖主义、执法、网络安全和内部安全等挑战。
Both sides have worked hard to ensure that the challenges — terrorism, law enforcement, cybersecurity and internal security — are being dealt with, says Pant.
“这就是为什么或许人们应该对这种[贸易]合作前景持更乐观的态度，”他说。
"That's why perhaps one needs to be a bit more optimistic about the possibility of this [trade] dance going forward," he said.

Canada is already a top supplier, but "needs to be more competitive price-wise and quality-wise in order to stay in the market," Duncan said.
希杜表示，实现2030年双边贸易额达700亿美元的目标，寻找贸易机固然重要，但在印度实现规模化竞争则是另一回事。
Aiming for $70B in 2-way trade Finding trade opportunities is one thing but competing at scale in India is another, says Sidhu.
他说：“我们需要吸引[加拿大]企业前来，并支持企业进入印度等市场。”他补充道：“这不是一个你可以随便来、打个电话就能搞定的地方。”

“他们了解我们的文化，他们了解当地的风味，他们在投资地点、投资原因以及投资对象方面变得非常深思熟虑和明智。” 莫迪表示，地缘政治紧张局势，尤其是与美国的紧张关系，以及时机因素，是推动双边贸易增长的重要部分。
"They know our culture, they know the flavour, they've become very thoughtful and intelligent about where they want to invest, why they want to invest and with whom they want to invest."
