G7 summit LIVE: PM Modi arrives in Canada
Reaffirming India’s stand against terrorism, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged leaders of the G7 to galvanise global action against terrorism, and underscored the need for strict action against those who “promote and support” it.
In his address Tuesday at the G7 Outreach Session here in Canada, the Prime Minister also called for attention to the Global South’s concerns and priorities.
Earlier, the Prime Minister said he held “productive” exchanges with G7 leaders on key global challenges and shared aspirations for a better planet.
The G7 summit comes amidst rising geopolitical tensions, including escalating tensions in the Middle East in the wake of the strikes between Iran and Israel, as well as a trade war triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff policies.
Mr. Trump, who arrived in Kananaskis Sunday (June 15, 2025) for the G7 Summit was expected to have bilateral meetings with many world leaders. However, Mr. Trump is abruptly leaving the summit, departing a day early Monday as the conflict between Israel and Iran intensifies and the U.S. leader has declared that Tehran should be evacuated “immediately.”
