Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Italy late Thursday night (local time) to attend the 50th G7 Summit, which is being held from June 13 to 15. This is Modi’s first visit to a foreign country after recently assuming office as the PM for the third consecutive term following the Bharatiya Janata Party-led NDA’s victory in the Lok Sabha elections 2024.
PM Modi is participating in G7 outreach session in Italy’s Apulia region at the invitation of his Italian counterpart, Giorgia Meloni. The summit is being held at the resort of Fasano and is dominated by the Russia-Ukraine war and Israel-Hamas war talks. In addition to India, the leaders of Algeria, Argentina, Brazil, Egypt, Kenya, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Tunisia, and Turkey have been invited to the outreach session.
Modi, on Friday, will engage in an action-packed day in Italy during the G7 outreach session. He will participate in a summit session titled ‘Artificial Intelligence, Energy, Africa-Mediterranean’ – which will be hosted by Italian PM Meloni. This session will also be joined by Pope Francis.
Modi said he would use the G7 Summit as an opportunity to create synergy between the outcomes of the G20 Summit held under India’s Presidency and deliberate on issues crucial for the Global South.
