Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to attend the Group of Seven (G7) summit in Italy, which will focus on Ukraine and Gaza ceasefire discussions. The summit is scheduled from June 13-15 at the luxurious Borgo Egnazia resort in the Apulia region. Leaders from the G7 member countries—US, UK, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, and France—as well as the European Union, will convene at the event.
India's Agenda at the G7 Summit
India, invited as an outreach country, has set defence and maritime cooperation as key priorities for the summit.
Ambassador Vani Rao highlighted the significance of these areas, stating, "Defence and security will be an important pillar that we want to build here. We are looking at cooperation in critical technologies, linking the defence industries of the two countries, and also maritime cooperation." This participation marks PM Modi's first overseas trip since beginning his third term as Prime Minister, noted Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra.
India aims to follow up on key issues discussed during its recent G20 presidency. As Ukraine is anticipated to be a central topic at the summit, India reiterates its stance on resolving the conflict through dialogue and diplomacy. "We have always been at the forefront to talk about the need for dialogue and diplomacy, and the impact of the conflict on developing countries," Mr. Kwatra added.
Bilateral Meetings on the Sidelines
During the summit, PM Modi is expected to meet with several top leaders, including US President Joe Biden. US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan confirmed that Biden looks forward to encountering Modi in Italy. Additionally, Modi plans to hold talks with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and other leaders to review and strengthen bilateral ties. These meetings aim to enhance cooperation and address mutual interests on the global stage.
