Will PM Modi break with 5-year tradition and NOT attend G7 summit in Canada this month?
- The 2025 G7 Summit is scheduled for June 15-17 in Alberta, Canada, involving leaders from major industrial democracies and invited guests.
- Diplomatic tensions between India and Canada, sparked by Canadian allegations of Indian involvement in the killing of separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, have complicated India's invitation status.
- Canada has reportedly extended invitations to the heads of state from Australia, South Africa, Ukraine, and Brazil for the upcoming summit, but an official confirmation regarding Indian Prime Minister Modi—who has participated in every G7 meeting since 2019—has not yet been made.
- Sources report Modi is unlikely to attend due to the lack of invitation, strained bilateral ties, logistical challenges, security concerns, and risks of separatist disruptions.
- Modi's potential absence would break a five-year tradition and underscores the need for improved India-Canada relations ahead of future high-profile diplomatic engagements.
