Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has openly expressed his support for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s invitation to the upcoming G7 summit in Alberta. The summit, scheduled to take place from June 15 to 17, will see leaders from the world’s most advanced economies come together to discuss pressing global issues.
Carney defended his decision to invite Modi by emphasizing India’s significant economic standing as the fifth-largest economy in the world. He also highlighted India’s crucial role in areas such as energy security, critical minerals, and infrastructure partnerships. Despite existing diplomatic tensions between the two countries, Carney believes that India’s participation in the summit is essential for addressing these key global challenges.
The invitation extended to Modi has faced some criticism, particularly in light of the ongoing border dispute between India and China. However, Carney remains steadfast in his decision, citing the importance of including India in discussions that will shape the future of the global economy.
As preparations for the G7 summit continue, all eyes will be on the discussions between world leaders and the outcomes that will emerge from this high-profile gathering. The inclusion of India in these talks is a testament to the country’s growing influence on the global stage and its importance in shaping the course of international relations.
