The Indian capital of New Delhi is abuzz with excitement as Prime Minister Narendra Modi prepares to embark on a trip to Italy on Thursday. He will be attending the annual summit of G7 advanced economies, a gathering of the world's leading industrialized nations. Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra shared the news on Wednesday, highlighting the significance of PM Modi's presence at the summit in the context of India's recent presidency of the G20 summit.
The G7 summit, set to take place in the picturesque resort of Borgo Egnazia in Italy's Apulia region from June 13th to 15th, is expected to be dominated by discussions on pressing global issues such as the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the situation in Gaza. High-profile leaders including US President Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are all slated to attend the summit. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will also be present for a session specifically focused on the Russian invasion of his country.
When asked about the situation in Ukraine, Foreign Secretary Kwatra reiterated India's stance on the matter, stating that dialogue and diplomacy are the best means of resolving conflicts. He also pointed out that India's regular participation in the G7 summit is a testament to the nation's growing recognition and contributions in addressing global challenges.
In addition to the G7 summit, India will also be participating in a peace summit in Switzerland at an appropriate level. However, Kwatra did not specify who will represent the country at the summit. With PM Modi's attendance at the G7 summit and India's active involvement in other international gatherings, it is clear that the nation is committed to playing a crucial role in promoting peace and cooperation on a global scale.
