- Modi expresses gratitude to Carney for the invitation to the upcoming June summit.
- The Indian leader emphasizes cooperation with Canada following the invitation.
- Although India is not a G7 member, it has the opportunity to participate as a guest at the annual event.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney extended an invitation to his Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi, for the forthcoming Group of Seven (G7) summit during a phone conversation on Friday. This gesture comes as both nations seek to repair their relationship after a period of tension over the last two years.
According to a statement from Carney’s office, the two leaders agreed to maintain communication and were looking forward to meeting at the G7 summit later this month.
While India is not a formal G7 member, it can attend the annual gathering as a guest. This year’s summit is scheduled to take place in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada, from June 15 to 17.
“I was pleased to receive a call from Prime Minister Carney… and I thanked him for the invitation to the G7 Summit,” Modi posted on X.
In his message, Modi also highlighted that India and Canada would collaborate “with renewed energy, based on mutual respect and shared interests.”
The relationship between the two countries had deteriorated after Canada accused India of being involved in the assassination of a Sikh separatist leader and alleged attempts to meddle in two recent elections. In October 2024, Canada expelled several high-ranking Indian diplomats, tying them to the murder and claiming a wider campaign to target Indian dissidents in Canada.
India has rejected these allegations and responded by expelling an equal number of Canadian diplomats.
India ranks as Canada’s 10th largest trading partner, with Canada being the primary exporter of pulses, including lentils, to India.
Carney, aiming to diversify trade away from the United States, stated that it is sensible for the G7 to invite India, given that it has the fifth-largest economy globally and plays a critical role in numerous supply chains.
“Moreover, we’ve made important strides in our bilateral law enforcement dialogue, which recognizes accountability issues. I conveyed this context when I invited Prime Minister Modi,” he told reporters in Ottawa.
Four Indian nationals have been charged in connection with the assassination of the Sikh separatist leader.
