Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to depart for Italy today to attend the three-day G7 summit in Fasano. This marks Modi's first foreign visit of his new term as Prime Minister for the third consecutive time. India's Ambassador to Italy, Vani Rao, highlighted Modi's significant role on the global stage and mentioned that he will address major issues during India's G-20 presidency.
During his visit, PM Modi will have a bilateral meeting with Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni, who is chairing this year's G-7 summit. The summit aims to address global challenges such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict and its repercussions on a global scale. There is a possibility of a meeting between PM Modi and US President Joe Biden at the G-7 summit, although the exact schedule for their bilateral meeting is yet to be confirmed.
The G-7 meeting, scheduled from June 13 to June 15 at the Borgo Egnazia luxury resort in Italy, is expected to focus on pressing issues like the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Gaza crisis. Leaders such as US President Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will be in attendance to discuss these critical global matters.
