Strange as it may seem, but it is true that the Five Eyes intelligence partnership, which Canada is relying on the most to prove its charges of Indian involvement in the murder of a Khalistani terrorist and gathering intelligence on other such terrorists on its soil, is potentially open for India along with Japan, Germany, and South Korea.
This idea has emanated from the United States, arguably the leader of the Five Eyes. In 2022, a Congressional subcommittee on Intelligence and Special Operations asked the Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of Defence to consider expanding the Five Eyes. Since then, the idea has been under discussion among policymakers.
Incidentally, the “Five Eyes” multilateral intelligence-sharing arrangement comprises the major intelligence services of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Its origins can be traced to 1946, when the Cold War was emerging, with Soviet Russia being seen as the biggest threat to democracy and the Western value system.
