INDIA PROGRAM

India and Canada have signed a bilateral science and technology (S&T) agreement to encourage, develop and facilitate cooperative activities between the two countries in science and technology (S&T) for peaceful purposes in fields of common interest and on the basis of equality and mutual benefit.
