G7 Summit 2025: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's arrival in Calgary for the G7 Summit 2025 sets the stage for high-stakes diplomacy, with key bilateral talks lined up, including one with Italian PM Giorgia Meloni. As Modi amplifies India’s global voice, Trump’s early departure adds urgency amid geopolitical tensions.
As the G7 Summit 2025 unfolds in the scenic mountains of Kananaskis, Canada, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived on Monday, June 16, marking his first visit to the country in over a decade. His visit comes at a crucial juncture, with former U.S. President Donald Trump making an early departure, and Modi scheduled to hold a high-stakes bilateral meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni later today. The summit, expected to spotlight energy security, technological innovation, climate policy, and global conflict resolution, also serves as Modi’s first global engagement since Operation Sindoor — India’s bold retaliation against terror infrastructure in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir following the Pahalgam attacks.
This year’s G7 meet carries added geopolitical weight, with rising global tensions — from the Iran–Israel standoff to the intensifying U.S.–China trade rift — shaping the tone of discussions. As the world’s top economies navigate uncertainty, all eyes are on Modi’s diplomatic agenda, India’s stance on regional stability, and the strategic significance of this engagement for South Asia and beyond.
PM Modi Lands in Calgary for G7 Summit 2025, Receives Grand Welcome from Indian Diaspora
Prime Minister Narendra Modi landed in Calgary, Canada, on June 16, 2025, to participate in the G7 Summit 2025 held at Kananaskis. Marking his first visit to Canada in a decade, PM Modi was greeted with chants, cheers, and a wave of Tirangas by the vibrant Indian community. The energetic welcome showcased the deep connection the Indian diaspora continues to share with the Prime Minister and India’s rising global stature.
Taking to social media, PM Modi wrote, “Landed in Calgary, Canada, to take part in the G7 Summit. Will be meeting various leaders at the Summit and sharing my thoughts on important global issues. Will also be emphasising the priorities of the Global South.”
This year’s summit is significant for India, especially following Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror hubs in Pakistan and PoK after the April 22 Pahalgam attacks. PM Modi’s agenda includes a series of bilateral meetings, including a highly anticipated session with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
The Summit comes at a time when the global stage is witnessing rising geopolitical tensions—from the Middle East to ongoing trade disruptions initiated by U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff stances. With issues like energy security, digital innovation, and global peace on the table, India’s presence is expected to shape discussions that echo far beyond the venue.
