Modi to Attend G-7 Summit in Canada, Revive Ties
India’s Strategic Focus at G-7
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Canada on June 16 and 17, 2025, to join the G-7 Summit. This will be his sixth time attending the event.
His visit is not just ceremonial. It comes at a time when India and Canada are trying to rebuild their relationship after recent tensions.
PM Modi was invited by Canadian PM Mark Carney, who became Prime Minister after Justin Trudeau stepped down in March 2025.
“As vibrant democracies with strong people-to-people ties, India and Canada will work with new energy,” PM Modi said on X.
The Ministry of External Affairs confirmed that PM Modi will speak at the summit. He will also meet world leaders for bilateral talks.
Key Topics to Be Discussed:
-
Energy Security
-
AI and Clean Energy
-
Quantum Technologies
-
Global Trade Rules
-
Peace and Security
These topics matter now more than ever. Technology and energy are changing the world fast, and India wants to lead in both.
Improving India-Canada Relations
This is PM Modi’s first trip to Canada since 2015. In 2023, former PM Trudeau accused India of being involved in the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. India rejected these claims as false and absurd.
With Carney as Canada’s new leader, both countries are now ready to improve ties. The summit offers a fresh start.
