Prime Minister Modi Accepts Carney’s Invitation to Attend G7 Summit
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi to join G7 summit in Canada, highlighting New Delhi's rising global influence.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has confirmed his participation in the upcoming G7 summit, following an official invitation from Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. The high-level international gathering is scheduled to take place from June 15 to 17 in Kananaskis, Alberta.
This announcement marks a significant moment for India’s engagement with the major industrialized nations, as Modi’s presence at the summit underscores the country’s growing influence on the global stage. In a brief statement, Modi expressed his appreciation for the invitation and emphasized the importance of dialogue and cooperation among world leaders.
The G7 summit serves as a forum for leaders from seven of the world's most advanced economies—Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States—to discuss pressing global challenges, including economic growth, climate change, and geopolitical security. India’s participation, though not a member, is seen as part of ongoing efforts to foster closer ties between the G7 and major developing economies.
As anticipation builds for the summit, officials are preparing for a series of bilateral and multilateral meetings on the sidelines. Observers expect issues such as climate action, technological innovation, and the post-pandemic economic recovery to be high on the agenda, with India's role likely to draw considerable interest.
Further details on Prime Minister Modi's visit and the summit agenda are expected in the coming days.
