“During the sessions of the conference, I will exchange views with G7 countries, G7 partner countries and visiting international organizations on topical issues such as the environment, energy, climate, food security, health, counter-terrorism, gender equality and democracy. Modi said in a statement ahead of his visit.
Foreign Secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra said on Friday that Modi will hold bilateral meetings and discussions with G-7 leaders and visiting countries on the sidelines of the G-7 summit.
Besides India, Germany, the host of the G7 summit, has also invited Argentina, Indonesia, Senegal and South Africa as guests to recognize the democracies of the Global South as their partners.
Modi said he is also looking forward to meeting members of the Indian diaspora from across Europe, who are contributing greatly to their local economies as well as enriching India’s relations with European countries.
From Germany, Modi will travel to the United Arab Emirates on June 28 to condole the death of former Gulf President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
