G7 Summit: Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrives in Canada
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has landed in Calgary, Canada to participate in the 51st G7 Summit amid Israel-Iran tensions.
This comes after the PM completed his visit to Cyprus, where he held extensive discussions with Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides.
PM Modi is currently on a four-day, three-nation tour covering Cyprus, Canada and Croatia.
His visit to Cyprus was marked by what the Ministry of External Affairs described on X as a “memorable” engagement. The Prime Minister extended his gratitude to President Christodoulides and the people of Cyprus for their “exceptional warmth and hospitality”.
From Cyprus, the Prime Minister proceeded to Canada for the G7 Outreach Summit. In a post on X, the MEA stated, “Heading to Canada for the G7 Summit.”
The G7 summit, being held in Kananaskis, Alberta, comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions, particularly the ongoing conflicts between Israel and Iran and Russia and Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will also be among the guest leaders at the event.
This marks PM Modi’s first multilateral appearance following the conclusion of Operation Sindoor, a counterterrorism operation conducted in Pakistan in May. During his stay in Canada, he is expected to hold bilateral meetings with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and several other leaders from the G7 nations and guest countries.
Apart from Carney, the Prime Minister will also hold bilateral meetings with his counterparts from Germany, Italy and Ukraine on the sidelines of the summit.
