Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Friday invited Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the G7 summit in Alberta later this month, an invitation Modi accepted despite strained ties between the countries.

New Delhi: With global leaders preparing to gather in the Canadian Rockies for the 2025 G7 Summit, all eyes are on India’s absence from the list of confirmed invitees. Amid strained Indo-Canada relations and growing speculation over diplomatic priorities, it appears unlikely that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be making the trip this year.

With one week to go until G7 leaders gather in Alberta, Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced his priorities for the meeting and is managing a guest list that lays bare fault lines in some of Canada’s international relationships.
