In a careful set of global diplomatic and technical societies, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been organized by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Sightseeing Kananskisen region of the Alberta to participate in the G7 Summit 2025 in Calgary, Canada. This is not just a trip to another summit – it marks Modi’s first visit to Canada in a decade, which comes at an important time for the two countries after a turbulent year in diplomatic conditions.
Yatra follows a formal invitation from Canada’s newly elected Prime Minister Mark Carney, indicating a strong gesture of harmony and renewed partnership. Although India is not a G7 member, Modi is a consistent invitation since 2019, which strengthens India’s growing global status and strategic relevance.
A diplomat is reset with high bets
This summit has the most weight. The Modi-carna meeting is not just about international cooperation, but about completing a stressful relationship. In 2023, the murder of Khalistani speechist Hardep Singh Nijar triggered one of the worst diplomatic distance between India and Canada in recent memory. This caused mutual expulsion of diplomats and broke into confidence in the administration of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
But 2025 gives reset. Mark Carney won the election in March with cautious optimism in New Delhi. A respected economist and political newcomer Carney has taken the first step by inviting modi at the summit, suggesting that the two nations are ready to start a new chapter in the relationship between India-Canada.
India’s agenda: Energy, AI and quantum diplomati
While diplomacy is central to travel, the theme of the summit and India’s own goals points to a broad, technical-centric ambition. PM Modi is expected to highlight India’s situation:
AI Energy Infrastructure:
Like India infections in AI-operated systems in energy prognosis and web management, the global partnership searches to make this infrastructure flexible and scalable.
Quantum technology:
India’s national quantum assignments will be prominent with the hope of promoting R&D opportunities combined with countries such as Canada, Germany and Japan.
Global Digital Infrastructure:
India’s expertise in public digital platforms – including Aadhaar, Upi and Digilokar – continues to attract international interests, place the country as a leader in the inclusive technical disposition.
They correspond to becoming a global center for energy infrastructure and quantum technology with India’s broad vision, especially in a world of energy crises and AI regime challenges.

From Friction to Forward Momentum
According to India’s Ministry of External Affairs, the meeting between Modi and Carney offers a “crucial opportunity to explore pathways for constructive dialogue and bilateral reset.” Both sides have signaled willingness to re-appoint high commissioners — a strong indication that trust is slowly returning to the table. The move could also open doors for increased bilateral trade, which in 2024 stood at USD 8.6 billion in goods and USD 14.3 billion in services, with India exporting USD 4.2 billion in goods and USD 2.5 billion in services, respectively.
G7 Summit: A Complex Global Backdrop
The time of the summit is important. Stress increases globally: Iran-Israel continues enmity, shows no signs of resolution in the Russia Ukraine conflict, and former US President Trump, who recently achieved the position, ruled business protectionism and debate on tariffs. The summit not only works to assess the dangers, but also as a platform for world leaders, but also technical -driven solutions.
In the midst of these geopolitical presses, India brings balance – an innovation, digital sovereignty and inherent in democratic values.
India on the table – not just a guest
India can participate as an outreach partner, but the impact of the G7 discussions has increased significantly over the years. From advocating open source digital public public infrastructure to calling for moral AI regulation, Modi’s intervention increases global history.
India takes diplomacy, quantum innovation and AI-driven energy management together, confirms Prime Minister India’s intentions: leading to the creation of a safe, inclusive and future prepared global infrastructure for the future.
