Prime Minister Modi Lands in Canada for G7 Summit, to Champion Voices of the Global South
Calgary, Canada | June 17, 2025 — Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Calgary today to attend the G7 Summit, where he is expected to play a crucial role in shaping dialogues on major international concerns. His presence underscores India’s growing diplomatic influence and its commitment to acting as a bridge between industrialized countries and developing nations.
PM Modi was welcomed with official honors upon his arrival, highlighting the importance attached to India’s participation in global policy discussions. Speaking through social media shortly after landing, Modi affirmed that his agenda is to engage with world leaders on pressing issues while also ensuring that the aspirations and challenges of developing countries are not overlooked.
“I have landed in Calgary to participate in the G7 Summit. Looking forward to meaningful discussions with global leaders on major issues of our time. I will also underline the priorities and concerns of the Global South,” Modi posted.
At the summit, Modi is expected to focus on wide-ranging global challenges including environmental protection, food security, geopolitical instability, and the pursuit of balanced economic growth. His participation reflects India’s commitment to global cooperation and its role as a strong voice for nations striving for equitable development.

By advocating for the Global South, Modi aims to bring attention to the shared struggles and goals of developing nations — promoting fairer systems in international finance, trade, climate policy, and technology access.
As the G7 Summit unfolds, India’s contributions, under Modi’s leadership, are expected to steer important conversations toward collaborative and balanced global development.
