NEW DELHI -- The spiraling diplomatic spat between India and Canada over the murder of a Sikh separatist risks "economic fallout" in their multibillion-dollar trade and business relationship, analysts warn.
So far, the countries' more than $8 billion annual trade ties -- and a total of 75 billion Canadian dollars ($54.3 billion) invested by Canadian pension funds in India -- appear to have been largely unaffected by the yearlong spat. Government officials on both sides have played down concerns that economic ties could fall victim to a bitter dispute that has sent bilateral relations to rock bottom.
