India’s diplomatic journey in 2023 was marked by successes and challenges. Relations between India and Canada hit rock bottom due to allegations of Indian government involvement in the death of a Canadian citizen linked to Khalistan extremism. India-China border tensions worsened when China asserted its claim over parts of Arunachal Pradesh and released a new map. India faced twists and turns in its relations with the United States, with high-profile visits and historic deals, but also a plot to harm a US national. PM Modi undertook diplomatic visits to multiple countries, and India inaugurated new embassies.
