If Canada wants to be an energy superpower, we need to be trading with India: Canadian Energy Minister Tim Hodgson

Goa: Canada's Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Tim Hodgson, highlighted India as a pivotal energy market ahead of his attendance at India Energy Week in Goa.

Speaking on Tuesday, Hodgson emphasised the strategic importance of partnering with India.

He wrote, X: "If Canada wants to be an energy superpower, we need to be trading our energy and natural resources with one of the world’s largest energy markets: India."

"That’s why, this week, I’m in India for trip of firsts: Canada’s first federal ministerial presence at India Energy Week and the first Canada–India energy dialogue in eight years."

"As major projects are being built at home, we’re building relationships abroad that will allow us to sell our products worldwide and carve out a new path for a stronger, more sovereign Canada."

"That's the money line: the liquefied gas going into the floating storage tanks," said Hodgson, highlighting the opportunity to support India's clean energy transition.

Hodgson's visit marks a renewed push in Canada-India energy relations, strained in recent years by diplomatic tensions but showing signs of thaw.
