Minister Anand announces the appointment of Canada’s new High Commissioner to India


August 28, 2025 – Ottawa, Ontario – Global Affairs Canada

The Honourable Anita Anand, Minister of Foreign Affairs, today announced that Christopher Cooter will become High Commissioner for Canada in the Republic of India, a position previously held by Cameron MacKay.

This announcement follows a commitment made by Prime Ministers Mark Carney and Narendra Modi at the G7 Summit last June to appoint new High Commissioners to Canada and India. The appointments are an important step towards restoring necessary diplomatic services to citizens and businesses in both countries.

Mr. Cooter has thirty-five years of diplomatic experience, having served most recently as Canada’s Chargé d’affaires to Israel and as Canada’s High Commissioner to South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho, Mauritius and Madagascar. Mr. Cooter also served as First Secretary in the Canadian High Commission to India, Nepal and Bhutan, in New Delhi, from 1998 to 2000.
