Canada, which is kind to Khalistanis, is getting closer to Pakistan

International News: The steps being taken by Canada seem to be increasing its disputes with India. Sometimes the support of Khalistanis and sometimes the statements of Canadian leaders about India have increased the distance in the relations between the two countries. Amidst the tension with India, Canada is increasing its proximity to Pakistan. The Canadian High Commission has officially invited applications for the appointment of a civilian Consul General in Karachi. The closeness between Canada and Pakistan is also a matter of concern for India, because both the countries have been supporting Khalistani rebels from time to time.

The posting of the Consul General of Canada in Karachi is an important diplomatic development for the relations between the two countries. Canada has issued a public advertisement for the post and the last date for applying is June 15. The advertisement states that the selected candidate will be appointed for five years, during which he will work to promote the positive image of Canada in Karachi and Sindh. Also, applicants should be fluent in English and French.

There will be exchange of both culture and trade

The appointment of the Consul General prioritizes cultural, economic and political exchanges between the two countries and strengthens bilateral relations between the two countries. The appointment comes after the death of Bahrum D. Awari, who previously held the post of Honorary Consul General, in 2023. The purpose of the Canadian High Commission is to maintain diplomatic representation and engagement in Karachi.

What does the Honorary Consul General do?

An Honorary Consul General is a diplomatic representative of a country who protects his country's interests in another country, but does not receive a salary from his country's government and is usually a citizen of the host country. The Honorary Consul General of Canada plays an important role in representing Canada's interests and supporting Canadian citizens in the Sindh province.

These ambassadors serve as a liaison between Canada and Pakistan, as well as a point of contact for Canadian businesses and individuals, ensuring diplomatic engagement and assistance. They also have a major responsibility to promote Canadian values, culture, and economic and political interests.
