Do Premier Modi go to the G-7 summit held in Canada, why the crisis clouds?
Prime Minister Narendra Modi cannot attend the G7 summit this year. This is the first time he has stayed away from this world phase for the past six years. The conference, which will be held in the province of Alberta of Canada between June 15 and 17, 2025, expects a brainstorming on very important global issues-Russia-Kukraine war, Western Asia crisis and global economic stability. But now questions have been asked about India’s presence. PM Modi was not sent invitation! According to sources, Prime Minister Modi has not yet been sent formal invitation from Canada. However, it is also said that even if the invitation is in light of the existing stressful relationships of India-Canada, Premier Modi’s chances of going there are very low. According to experts in foreign policy, this type of travel requires diplomatically strong preparation and positive environment, which is not between the two countries. When and why did the relationship between India canada come? The stressful ties between India and Canada began in 2023, when then Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, India, directly accused him of being involved in the murder of Khalistani supporter Hardep Singh Nijjar. The statement harmed India’s sovereignty and safety issues and saw a sharp diplomatic response between the two countries. After this, the two countries expelled each other’s diplomats and also influenced business, strategic and cultural cooperation. India has clearly said that Khalistani activities are being ignored in Canada, which is a serious threat to India’s safety. The new government, but there is still no big indication, after the victory of liberal party leader Mark Karney in the Canadian parliamentary election held in 2025, there were some expectations that relations on India canada could improve. But so far, no such clear step or policy change has been shown by the new government of Canada, which addresses India’s concern concrete. The strict stance of the Foreign Ministry recently issued a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saying: “India has repeatedly judged Canada about its security issues on Khalistan supporters activities. We urged Canada to find extremists who support violence and separatism.” From this statement it is clear that India still expects concrete actions from Canada, and until then the general situation in bilateral relations is low. The two countries withdrew each other’s high commissioners after the deadlock with the recovery of the high commissioners. So far, there has been no progress in their recovery, which shows that there is still a stagnation in diplomatic relations. In the previous G7 meetings, the activism of the Premier Modi is noted that Premier Modi attended the G7 Summit in Hiroshima, Japan, in 2023 and visited Germany in 2022. India’s presence on the forums such as Modi’s foreign policy and the presence of G7 is considered important worldwide, especially if India claims to be a global South Voice. The form of G7 and the current G7 (group of seven) is a group of seven largest developed economies in the world – America, Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Japan and Canada. It is led by Canada in 2025 and offers the conference. In such a situation, the leader of a democratic and emerging economy like India is absent from the conference, a diplomatic sign. Conclusions: Will the relationship between India canada be warm again? India’s absence at the G7 conference will be considered evidence of the acidity in the relations in India canada. While India is constantly trying to expand its role on world forums, such stressful relationships with a democratic country such as Canada can become a serious diplomatic challenge. It must now be seen how serious Mark Carney’s new government is taking the concern of India and whether both countries can return to the path of mutual trust and cooperation.
