The summit is expected to address the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy already in attendance. Apart from India, Italy has also invited leaders from 11 developing countries across Africa, South America, and the Indo-Pacific region to participate in the G7 Summit, emphasizing a broad global outreach. In summary, Prime Minister Modi’s participation in the G7 Summit in Italy is marked by discussions on critical global issues and bilateral engagements with world leaders, underscoring India’s role in international diplomacy and strategic partnerships.
