SS: Summary: Modi Not Invited to G-7 Summit Amid Strained India-Canada Ties

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not been invited to the upcoming G-7 summit hosted by Canada from June 15–17, marking the first time in six years that India will not participate. The decision, reportedly based on host prerogative, signals deteriorating diplomatic relations between India and Canada.

Tensions have escalated since 2023, when then-Canadian PM Justin Trudeau accused Indian officials of involvement in the assassination of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil — an allegation India denied. Despite recent talks between Canadian and Indian foreign ministers, core issues remain unresolved, particularly around Sikh separatist activities in Canada.

While India, poised to become the world’s fourth-largest economy, remains outside the G-7, leaders from other non-member countries such as Ukraine, Australia, and Mexico have been invited.

The summit will focus on global economic stability, peace, and digital transformation.
