Will Canada play in G-7 meeting? Why doubt over PM Modi’s participation

New Delhi : There are barely three months left at the G-7 summit in Canada, but there is suspense when Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the event. Modi has been regularly involved in the G-7 since 2019, but when asked if India will be invited to this year’s summit. On this, hosts Canada told the Times of India that no decision has been taken about the participation of guest countries yet.

Canada’s relations with India cold

The summit will be hosted at Canadian’s current G7 on June 15-17 in Canadian (Alberta). On the other hand, its bilateral relations with India remain cold. Also, Canada is in the midst of an unprecedented crisis with the US, which has provided terrible tariff war. Foreign ministers of the group of financially advanced countries demonstrated unity in Charleviox earlier this month.

Will give information at the right time

It also confirmed his/her ‘unwavering’ support for Ukraine, but is full of concerns about the behavior with G7 Trump’s colleagues and the reluctance of calling Russia to its aggression. A Canadian official of the G7 Media Relations Team said that no decision has been taken on the invitation of the summit at this time. More information will be made available in the appointed time.

What can the new PM of Canada say?

It is learned that former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau, who was widely convicted for spoiling relations with India due to its careless attitude towards the Khalistan murder conspiracy, has left the selection of guests on his/her successor. The new Canadian PM Mark Carney has said that he/she wants to re -form relations with India, but currently he/she has a difficult task to deal with Trump’s audacity.

Carney has also said that he/she wants to have a business relationship with new partners. Also want to build the strongest economy in G7. Obviously, limited space at the summit site can be a reason for not being very low or even a guest leader.

Silence on Nijjar’s murder

Carney has so far kept silent on the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a pro -Khalistan supporter. This has led to a dramatic decline in diplomatic relations. India has said that it expects to rebuild relationships based on mutual confidence and sensitivity, but will probably wait to see the results of the next elections. RCMP, who has investigated the case, says that Trudeau’s position was based on the information given by the agency.

Modi-Manmohan has joined

Both PM Modi and his/her predecessor Manmohan Singh have been invited for the G7 Summit before. In fact, Modi has been going there regularly since 2019, when French President Emmanuel Macron invited him/her to meet at Biaritz. Then the Trump administration also invited him/her to the Camp David Summit in 2020. However, it was later canceled due to Kovid-19.
