This is the sixth consecutive time India is coming to G7 as a guest country which speaks for India's importance on the world stage today. In this particular G7, India will be speaking about energy security, innovation, new technologies like AI, Quantum etc, which are contemporary topics that will effect all of us and our views will will definitely get noticed, I am sure.' 'In addition to that, there will be bilaterals on the sidelines. As you know, the G7 countries and also some other rich countries are also here in Calgary and there will be interactions on that front as well. That also includes interaction with meeting with Honourable Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada as well,' the Indian envoy said. Prime Minister will travel to Canada's Kananaskis to attend the G7 Summit on June 16-17. This will be PM Modi's sixth consecutive participation in the G7 Summit. Asked about his expectation regarding bilateral ties following the meeting between PM Modi and Carney, Naik said, 'At this point, I'll just say that honourable Prime Minister tweeted the moment Prime Minister Mark Carney was elected. So that was a good signal. And now we are seeing the visit happening at his invitation. I think those hold significance in themselves. We will see how the discussion goes and what comes out of it. I would say the direction looks positive. But as I said, around this visit and around this meeting, you can already see so much of enthusiasm and positivity, which is what should be noted.' He stated that Indian diaspora in Canada is very excited for PM Modi's visit and that the Indian High Commission is receiving feedback from Indo-Canadians ever since PM Modi's visit to Canada was announced. When asked about Indian community's reaction to PM Modi's visit, he said, 'As soon as the visit was announced, we have been getting feedback from all over the Indo-Canadian community across Canada. As you know, there's 1.8 million Indo-Canadian diaspora here and they are excited, they are full of energy and they have been expressing themselves in various forms. I would invite you to see our social media handles and see for yourself.' 'From Cyprus, I will travel to Kananaskis, Canada to attend the G7 Summit at the invitation of Prime Minister Mark Carney. The Summit will provide space for exchange of views on pressing global issues and the priorities of the Global South. I also look forward to engaging with leaders from partner countries,' he said. PM Modi arrived in Cyprus on Sunday, marking the beginning of his three-nation official visit to Cyprus, Canada, and Croatia.

The G7 Summit is an international forum held annually for the leaders of the G7 member states of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Canada and the European Union (EU). PM Modi's visit to Canada comes after a period of strained relations between the two countries, triggered by Canadian allegations that Indian agents were involved in the killing of NIA-designated terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar outside gurdwara in Canada in 2023. India strongly rejected the allegations and both nations expelled senior diplomats in a tit-for-tat escalation. India has expressed concern about extremism and anti-India activities in Canada and has asked Canadian authorities to take action against it. (ANI)

(AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein) KANANASKIS — Prime Minister Mark Carney will meet this morning with U.S. President Donald Trump at the G7 summit in Alberta. It's Trump's first visit to Canada since he started repeatedly saying the country should become an American state, leading Canadians to boo the American anthem at hockey games. Trump stormed out of the last G7 summit that Canada hosted, in 2018, and many will be watching this morning's meeting, scheduled for 9 a.m. local time in Kananaskis, Alta. The meeting comes weeks into regular calls and text messages between Carney and Trump as they try to resolve an economic spat caused by Trump's various tariffs. Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand has described the talks as 'sensitive' because of the deep integration of both economies. Carney is also leading discussions today on safety issues and artificial intelligence, while meeting with leaders from places including Japan, France and Italy.
