India’s Not in the G7 — So Why Is Modi Going?
PM Modi at G7 Summit 2025 is once again drawing international attention, as India joins world leaders in Canada India’s not officially part of the G7. Yet here Modi is again — invited personally by Canadian PM Mark Carney
Even after months of awkward silence between India and Canada over the Nijjar case, Carney went ahead and extended the olive branch.
“India is too important to ignore,” he told reporters.
That’s not just diplomacy — that’s realism.
India now has a real seat at the global table, even if it’s not printed on the nameplate.
What Will PM Modi at G7 Summit Address?
He won’t be reading from a scripted brief. Modi walks into summits like this with clear priorities — grounded in what’s working back home, and what’s not working in the world.
On AI
India’s experimenting with its own language-based AI systems. But there’s concern too — over jobs, bias, and control. Expect Modi to talk about keeping AI ethical and fair.PM Modi at G7 Summit
On Clean Energy
He’s going to remind the PM Modi at G7 Summit that countries like India want to go green — but they can’t do it alone. Access to tech, money, and minerals is a must.
On Digital Infrastructure
He’ll probably talk about UPI and Aadhaar. Not to brag, but to offer a model. Other countries are watching how India built systems that reach poor people, not just tech elites.
On Debt
Modi might urge richer nations to stop lecturing and start listening. Many Global South countries are buried in debt. India’s asking for real relief, not speeches.
On Peace
Whether it’s Ukraine, Gaza, or Indo-Pacific tensions — Modi tends to position India as a neutral but firm voice. He may not name names, but he’ll call for calm.
Not Everyone’s Clapping
Some Sikh groups in Canada are already protesting his visit. The Hardeep Nijjar controversy still casts a shadow. But most global leaders, even if privately concerned, see India as essential.
A senior EU advisor summed it up:
“You can’t solve 21st-century problems without India in the room.”
What’s Expected Behind Closed Doors?
Modi will likely hold one-on-one talks with:PM Modi at G7 Summit
- PM Carney – to clear the air
- President Biden – tech and defense, again
- Macron or Meloni – possibly on climate or Indo-Pacific moves
The Bottom Line
This G7 won’t be about who’s on the official list. It’ll be about who actually has influence.
Modi walks into Canada not just as India’s PM — but as a messenger for a chunk of the world that’s tired of being overlooked.
