Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on Friday that he will be attending the G7 Summit in Canada later this month. He expressed his excitement for the opportunity to meet with the newly elected Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney.
PM Modi was grateful to receive an invitation from Carney during a recent telephone call between the two leaders. He congratulated Carney on his recent election victory and thanked him for the invitation to the Summit, which is scheduled from June 15-17 in Kananaskis.
In their call, Modi emphasized the strong bond between India and Canada, both vibrant democracies with deep people-to-people ties. He expressed his eagerness to work together with renewed energy and guided by mutual respect and shared interests. Modi also looked forward to their meeting at the Summit.
The relationship between India and Canada had become strained under Carney's predecessor, Justin Trudeau, due to various issues such as the activities of Khalistani separatists in Canada. Trudeau had even accused India of involvement in the killing of a radical Khalistani activist, which further worsened the diplomatic ties between the two countries.
However, with Carney taking over as Prime Minister after Trudeau's resignation in March this year, there is hope for a thaw in the relations between the two nations. The G7 Summit, which includes the US, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan, is an important platform for global leaders to discuss and address pressing issues.
India has been receiving invitations to attend the prestigious Summit since 2019, and Modi's expected meeting with Carney has raised expectations for a positive turn in the relationship between the two countries. As the new leader of the ruling Liberal Party, Carney's election has brought a glimmer of hope for improved ties between India and Canada.
