'Looking forward to our meeting': PM Modi invited to G7 Summit by Canadian counterpart Carney

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he was "glad" to receive a call from the newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. PM Modi congratulated him for this recent election victory and thanked him for inviting him to the G7 Summit in Kananaskis.

In a post on X, PM Modi wrote: "Glad to receive a call from Prime Minister @MarkJCarney of Canada. Congratulated him on his recent election victory and thanked him for the invitation to the G7 Summit in Kananaskis later this month."

He further said India and Canada will work together with renewed vigour. "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," the post said.

The 51st G7 summit will be held from 15 to 17 June 2025 in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada. Kananaskis previously hosted the 28th G8 summit.

This year’s summit is particularly significant as it marks the 50th anniversary of the G7, a group that includes the world’s most advanced economies: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The European Union also takes part in the discussions.
