French President Emmanuel Macron has invited Prime Minister Modi to participate in the G7 Summit.

The French Embassy in India stated that French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Jean-Noël Barrot held discussions with India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar during the G7 Foreign Ministers’ meeting at Abbaye des Vaux-de-Cernay. During these talks, both sides welcomed Modi’s participation in the Evian Summit and highlighted India’s growing contribution to the G7’s global discussions. The ministers emphasized India’s important role in addressing major macroeconomic challenges, strengthening international partnerships, and promoting global solidarity. The discussions also focused heavily on the current situation in the Middle East. Both France and India agreed to maintain close coordination on regional security issues, particularly regarding the safety and stability of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global trade and energy route. The possible Modi-Trump meeting is being viewed as an important diplomatic development. India and the United States have continued to strengthen cooperation in areas such as trade, defense, technology, and global security. A face-to-face meeting between the two leaders at the G7 Summit could help further improve bilateral relations and provide an opportunity to discuss key international challenges. The G7 Summit in France is expected to bring together several world leaders to discuss global economic stability, geopolitical tensions, climate issues, and international cooperation.
