Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Friday June 6, said that G 7 countries will hold discussions on important issues, including security and energy, in their upcoming
summit, adding that India’s presence at the intergovernmental
political and economic forum is essential.
Carney said that India being the fifth largest economy and the most
populous country in the world must be at the seat.
“Let’s put the two aspects in context- first is, we are in the roleCanada’s in the role of the G7 chair and in those discussions as agreed
with our G7 colleagues, include important discussions on energy,
security, on digital future, critical minerals amongst others and
partnerships actually in building infrastructure in the emerging and
developing world,” he said.
Carney said that India is central to a number of supply chains, which
makes its presence pertinent at the G7 chair consultation.
“There are certain countries that should be at the table for those
discussions, and in my capacity as G7 chair, I will consult with some
others to make those determinations. India is the fifth largest economy
in the world, effectively the most populous country in the world,
central to a number of those supply chains at the heart of a number of
those supply chains, so it makes sense,” he said.
Carney said that India and Canada are acting on law enforcement, and
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has accepted his invitation.
“In addition, bilaterally we have now agreed importantly to continued
law enforcement to law enforcement dialogue so there’s been some
progress on that recognizes issues of accountability I extended the
invitation to Prime Minister Modi for in in that context and he has
accepted it,” he said.
PM Modi on Friday confirmed he would attend the upcoming Group of
Seven (G7) leaders summit in Canada after an invitation from newly
elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.

“Glad to receive a call from Prime Minister Mark J Carney of Canada.
Congratulated him on his recent election victory and thanked him for
the invitation to the G7 Summit in Kananaskis later this month. As
vibrant democracies bound by deep people-to-people ties, India and
Canada will work together with renewed vigour, guided by mutual
respect and shared interests. Look forward to our meeting at the
Summit,” he said in a post on X.
The announcement comes after a period of severely strained relations
between the two countries, triggered by Canadian allegations that
Indian agents were involved in the June 2023 assassination of Hardeep
Singh Nijjar–a Canadian citizen and prominent pro-Khalistan activist–
outside a Sikh temple in Vancouver, as per DW News
