Canada Moves Diplomats Out of India Amid Row Over Trudeau Comments and Demand for Staff Parity

Canada has moved some diplomats from India to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore after demand from India for parity in diplomatic presence.

This follows India's call for Canada to reduce diplomatic staff amid row over Trudeau's comments linking Indian agents to killing of Khalistani terrorist.

India has reportedly given Canada until October 10 to reduce staff to level equal to number of Indian diplomats in Canada.

India has sought parity given much higher Canadian diplomatic presence and "continuing interference in internal affairs".
