[City, Date] – Tensions between Canada and India have escalated in recent weeks, raising questions about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plans for inviting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the next G7 Summit, scheduled to be held in Canada in 2024.

During a recent press conference, Trudeau was pressed on whether he would extend an invitation to Modi. He responded by saying that he is focused on “strengthening” relationships with all G7 members, but avoided a direct answer about Modi’s potential attendance.

The diplomatic row stems from alleged Indian involvement in the killing of a Canadian citizen of Sikh origin in Canada. India has denied any involvement, but the accusations have strained relations between the two countries.

The G7 Summit, an annual meeting of the world’s leading industrialized nations, often serves as a platform for global leaders to engage in discussions on critical issues. The inclusion of India in the event, particularly amidst the current diplomatic tensions, is a point of contention.

The next few months will be crucial in determining whether Canada will extend a formal invitation to India. Trudeau’s cautious response has fueled speculation about the future of Canada-India relations and their impact on the upcoming G7 Summit.
