She said that we want a strong diplomatic presence in India.

Melanie Joly said that we believe that diplomatic dialogue is best when it is personal, so we urge India to engage in personal dialogue.

It is to be noted that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also said that he does not want tension with India.

India has also stopped visa services for Canadians after the dispute escalated between the two countries.
