00:44 The inclusion of emergency services being handled by the Indian High Commission and

00:48 consulates in Toronto and Vancouver underscores the measured approach to resolving the issues.

00:54 The recent episode had seen Canada raising concerns about potential violations of the

00:58 Geneva Convention, while India refuted claims of breaching international law.

01:03 The resumption of visa services, coupled with the continuation of essential services, reflects

01:08 a pragmatic approach to maintaining diplomatic ties.

01:11 While challenges persist, especially regarding the investigation into Nijjar's death, this

01:24 outstanding issues and foster better diplomatic relations.
