Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be attending the Canada-hosted Group of Seven summit later this month as ties between the two nations improve.

The South Asian country is not a member of the G7, a grouping of seven of the world¡¯s richest countries, comprising the U.S., U.K., Germany, France, Italy, Canada and Japan. But this will be India¡®s 12th time participating and Modi¡¯s sixth consecutive invitation to the summit.

In a post on X, Modi said Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney invited him to the G7 summit and he looks forward to their meeting.
