The United States and the United Kingdom have expressed support for Canada in its row with India over diplomatic presence. The row began in March 2023, when India asked Canada to reduce its diplomatic presence in New Delhi by 25%. India took this step in response to Canada's decision to grant asylum to Khalistani separatists.
Canada has refused to reduce its diplomatic presence in India, and has accused India of trying to intimidate it. The United States and the United Kingdom have now backed Canada in this row.
In a statement, the US State Department said that the US is "concerned" by the row between India and Canada. The statement said that the US supports Canada's right to maintain a diplomatic presence in India.
The UK government has also expressed support for Canada. In a statement, the UK Foreign Office said that the UK is "concerned" by the row between India and Canada. The statement said that the UK supports Canada's right to maintain a diplomatic presence in India.
The support of the US and the UK for Canada is likely to further escalate the row between India and Canada. It is also likely to put pressure on India to reconsider its decision to ask Canada to reduce its diplomatic presence.
The row between India and Canada is a complex one. There are a number of factors that have contributed to the row, including the Khalistani separatist movement, the asylum granted to Khalistani separatists by Canada, and India's recent assertive foreign policy.
It is important to note that the US and the UK are both close allies of India. However, they are also close allies of Canada. The fact that the US and the UK have both expressed support for Canada in this row suggests that they are concerned about India's recent assertive foreign policy.
The row between India and Canada is likely to have a significant impact on bilateral relations between the two countries. It is also likely to have a negative impact on India's relations with the US and the UK.
