Overview

• Canadian PM Mark Carney formally invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, and Modi has accepted the invitation.
• Carney argued that India’s position as the world’s fifth-largest economy and its central role in supply chains make its participation crucial for discussions on energy security, digital future and critical minerals.
• The two countries have agreed to resume law enforcement dialogue to address accountability concerns tied to the ongoing investigation into the 2023 killing of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
• Other G7 members supported Modi’s inclusion, signalling a broader push for India’s engagement on global strategic and economic issues.
• The invitation drew criticism from Liberal MP Sukh Dhaliwal, who said it risked undermining accountability in the RCMP’s Nijjar investigation.
