Shillong, May 19: The Group of Seven (G7) summit will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday in Japan. At the request of his Japanese counterpart, Fumio Kishida, the prime minister is travelling to East Asia.
In its capacity as the G7’s current chair, Japan is hosting the summit. From May 19 to May 21, PM Modi will be in Hiroshima for the G7 conference. He is anticipated to discuss issues such as the security of food, fertiliser, and energy.
The G7 meeting is “particularly meaningful” to PM Modi, according to his remarks before leaving, because India is in charge of the G20 this year.
“It will be a pleasure to meet Prime Minister (Fumio) Kishida again after his recent visit to India for the India-Japan Summit. My presence in this G7 Summit is particularly meaningful as India holds the G20 Presidency this year,” he said.
“I look forward to exchanging views with the G7 countries and other invited partners on challenges the world faces and the need to collectively address them,” he added.
