"Direction looks positive": India's Acting High Commissioner in Canada ahead of talks between PM Modi, Carney
Calgary [Canada], June 16 (ANI): India's Acting High Commissioner to Canada, Chinmoy Naik, has expressed optimism over discussions set to be held between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Canadian counterpart Mark Carney on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Alberta. Speaking to ANI, Naik stated that PM Modi has been invited to G7 Summit by Carney and noted that India will be participating in the G7 Summit as a guest country for the sixth time. He stated that India at the G7 Summit will speak about energy security, innovation, new technologies like AI. On PM Modi's visit to G7 Summit, he said, 'As your are aware that honourable Prime Minister of India has been invited to attend the G7 2025 Summit as an outreach guest country by the honorable Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney. 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. After concluding his visit to Croatia, PM Modi will travel to Canada to attend G7 Summit. In his statement before departing for his three-nation visit, PM Modi had stated, 'From Cyprus, I will travel to Kananaskis, Canada to attend the G7 Summit at the invitation of Prime Minister HE 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. 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)

Mark Carney to meet Donald Trump today at G7 summit in Alberta amid ‘sensitive' talks
President Donald Trump arrives on Air Force One at Calgary International Airport, Sunday, June 15, 2025, in Calgary, Canada, ahead of the G7 Summit. (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.

Eastern premiers look to U.S. governors as allies in Trump trade war
Five Canadian premiers, including Ontario's Doug Ford, are in Boston on Monday at the invitation of some northeastern U.S. governors to try to forge alliances against Donald Trump's tariffs. Ford is joined by fellow premiers Tim Houston of Nova Scotia, Susan Holt of New Brunswick, Rob Lantz of P.E.I. and John Hogan of Newfoundland and Labrador for a day of meetings at Massachusetts State House with the governors of seven states or their delegates. Only one of the governors slated to attend is Republican — Vermont's Phil Scott — so whether the gathering will hold any sway with Trump is an open question. The governors and premiers will discuss the impacts of Trump's tariffs and how U.S. and Canadian leaders "can continue to work together to maintain economic relations that benefit local businesses and residents," according to a news release from the event's host, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey, a Democrat. They'll start the day with closed-door talks focused on opportunities to collaborate on energy, trade, tourism and manufacturing, then open the door to news media to continue their discussions in front of the cameras. "Premier Ford will advocate for his vision of Fortress Am-Can, a renewed strategic alliance that makes Canada and the U.S. the richest, most prosperous, safest, and most secure two countries on the planet," said Ford's spokesperson Hannah Jensen in a statement. Houston says the meeting will help with the important relationships between premiers and governors but he admits the event is unlikely to shift Trump's position on tariffs. "That's a president of the United States-level decision," Houston told a Halifax news conference. "That doesn't mean we can't have positive relationships with governors and Americans in general. I think that's just, that's the goal." 'Recruit more allies' Holt is putting forward a more optimistic view of what can be achieved by meeting with the governors. "We would like to continue to encourage them to work through their channels and their business leaders to make clear to the administration how tariffs are hurting Americans and Canadians," Holt told a news conference in Fredericton. She said the goal is to "get those messages through to the people that we hope can influence the president" to drop his tariffs against Canada. "We're going to continue to try to build and manage the trade partnerships that matter to New Brunswickers and to New Brunswickers' jobs, to continue to make sure that our goods are being purchased by the U.S. and that we continue to have access to what we need to grow our economy here while we recruit more allies in the fight against tariffs," said Holt. WATCH | Governor of Maine calls tariffs 'just a tax, plain and simple': Maine governor describes how tariffs are hurting her state's economy 16 hours ago Duration 1:06 The governor of Maine, Janet Mills, says the reluctance of Canadians to cross the border is hurting tourism in her state and the tariffs are having an impact on various sectors of Maine's economy, including agriculture, construction and breweries. "I personally do not understand the rhetoric that's coming out of Washington, out of the president's mouth," Mills told CBC's Rosemary Barton Live on Sunday. "We want the Canadian people to know ... that we don't share that hostility or that kind of rhetoric. We think it's shameful. We want to repair any broken relationships," Mills said. Other governors slated to attend are New York's Kathy Hochul and Rhode Island's Dan McKee, both Democrats. New Hampshire's Republican governor won't attend The Republican governor of New Hampshire, Kelly Ayotte, and the Democratic governor of Connecticut, Ned Lamont, will send representatives, according to a news release from the organizers. Ayotte is the only governor in the region who did not sign the letter inviting the premiers to the event. She backed Trump's presidential campaign in 2024, when she was running for governor. Daniel Schwanen, vice president of the C.D. Howe Institute, a Toronto-based think tank, says governors from both parties know that jobs and economic activity in their states will be negatively affected by a trade war with Canada and that makes them natural allies of the premiers. "There's enormous value in having a U.S.-based constituency that agrees with Canada's case that tariffs are mutually hurtful," said Schwanen in an interview. "The economic realities on the ground are in fact not really very different, regardless of whether your governor is a Democrat or a Republican," he said. Quebec Premier Francois Legault was invited to the Boston meeting but will send a cabinet minister in his place. Ford has made three trips to Washington, D.C. so far this year and numerous appearances on U.S. news outlets to try to persuade Americans that tariffs hurt the economy south of the border. While the premiers are in Boston, Trump is in Canada, attending the G7 summit in Alberta, a high-stakes meeting for all leaders but particularly so for Prime Minister Mark Carney.
