PM Modi to participate in G7 Summit in Evian, France today
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will participate in the G7 Summit in Evian, France, this evening as part of a two-day official visit. The Prime Minister arrived in France after concluding his visit to Slovakia and will take part in the high-level summit that began earlier in the day.
This marks Mr. Modi’s seventh consecutive participation in the G7 Summit and India’s 13th overall appearance at the grouping’s outreach sessions, reflecting New Delhi’s continued engagement with major global economies.
French President Emmanuel Macron will formally welcome the Prime Minister upon his arrival in Evian. Following the reception, PM Modi is scheduled to attend a high-level working session themed “Forging New Partnerships and Rebuilding International Solidarity,” which will bring together leaders of G7 nations, partner countries, and representatives from global financial institutions including the World Bank and the African Development Bank.
India is expected to emphasize the concerns and priorities of the Global South during the discussions, particularly on issues related to global development, economic stability, and multilateral cooperation.
On the sidelines of the summit, PM Modi will hold a series of bilateral meetings with several world leaders. These include Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. He will also attend a gala dinner hosted by President Macron later in the evening.
A key highlight of the visit will be PM Modi’s planned meeting with US President Donald Trump, scheduled for tomorrow. The discussions are expected to cover a wide range of bilateral and global issues, including strategic cooperation and regional developments of mutual interest.
The G7 Summit is considered an important platform for advancing global dialogue, and India’s participation continues to underscore its expanding role in shaping international economic and geopolitical discourse.
