Canada’s G7 Presidency in 2025 comes amid pressing global challenges, marked by rising geoeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties. This moment offers Canada a platform to lead — and an opportunity to strengthen ties with rising powers like India, which is playing an increasingly vital role on the global stage.
Although not a G7 member, India has been invited to every summit since 2019, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was recently invited by Prime Minister Mark Carney to the G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, from June 15 to 17, 2025.
As a window opens for a potential reset in Canada–India relations, APF Canada explores India’s G7 engagement in recent years and the prospects for renewed bilateral and global co-operation in the context of Canada’s G7 Presidency.
This webinar featured a discussion with Michael Kugelman, Senior Fellow with the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, and C. Raja Mohan, Distinguished Fellow, Council for Strategic and Defense Research, and APF Canada's inaugural Indo-Pacific Visiting Scholar.
The event was moderated by Vina Nadjibulla, Vice-President Research & Strategy at APF Canada and recorded on June 10, 2025.
