Modi's Invitation to G7 Summit

Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that he had a conversation with his Canadian counterpart, Mark Carney, who extended an invitation for him to attend the G7 summit scheduled for later this month in Kananaskis. In a post on social media, PM Modi expressed his pleasure in speaking with Carney, congratulating him on his recent electoral success and thanking him for the invitation to the summit.

Details of the G7 Summit

The Canadian government, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, is set to host the G7 summit from June 15 to 17 at the Kananaskis Resort in Alberta. As the world's fifth-largest economy, India plays a significant role in global growth and is recognized as the largest democracy, which has allowed it to secure a place at this prestigious forum in recent years.


India's Role in Global Discussions

Since 2019, India has consistently participated in this event, which began in France and continued to Italy last year. During the special session in Italy, PM Modi addressed critical issues such as reducing social inequality and ensuring accessible and safe artificial intelligence for all. India aims to use this platform to promote messages of peace, international cooperation, and coordinated development.


A New Era in Canada-India Relations

Mark Carney's tenure begins with hopes of thawing the icy relations between India and Canada. Compared to his predecessor Justin Trudeau, Carney has exhibited a more responsible and positive approach. During his election campaign, he acknowledged the importance of the bilateral relationship and advocated for diversifying trade ties with like-minded nations. Last week, a conversation between India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Canadian Minister Anita Anand was also seen as a significant shift in diplomatic relations.
