G7 Summit 2025 LIVE News Updates: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will participate in G7 discussions focused on the future of energy security — including diversification, technology, infrastructure, and investment — to ensure access and affordability in a rapidly changing world.
The 2025 G7 Summit in Calgary has taken a dramatic turn as world leaders contend with mounting geopolitical tensions and critical diplomatic balancing acts. From U.S. President Donald Trump’s sudden departure to escalating Middle East conflicts and strained India-Canada relations, the summit is proving to be a defining moment in global diplomacy.
In an unexpected move, President Trump exited the G7 summit a day before the scheduled conclusion, sparking speculation about the reasons behind his early departure. Addressing the matter via a post on Truth Social, Trump clarified that his exit was not due to the proposed Israel-Iran ceasefire, instead teasing a “much bigger” move in the works. His cryptic remarks came after French President Emmanuel Macron publicly claimed that Trump had extended a ceasefire proposal to both Israel and Iran.
Before leaving Calgary, Trump made a joint appearance with other G7 leaders, during which he reiterated the U.S. stance on Iran’s nuclear ambitions. “Iran can never have a nuclear weapon,” he declared, emphasizing the need for a “de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza.” The statement underscored the gravity of the current regional crisis and the high-stakes diplomacy unfolding behind the scenes.
Trump’s rhetoric intensified further in a separate post, where he urged all Iranians to “immediately evacuate” Tehran, warning of potentially severe consequences if the situation escalated. He criticized Iran for failing to agree to a deal limiting its nuclear weapons development, describing the standoff as “a shame.”
While the Israel-Iran conflict dominates headlines, other important bilateral discussions are quietly taking place on the summit’s sidelines — including between India and Canada. The relationship between the two countries remains fragile following the 2023 diplomatic crisis triggered by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s allegation of Indian involvement in the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. India strongly rejected the accusation, calling it “absurd” and “motivated.”
Despite the lingering tensions, both New Delhi and Ottawa are reportedly working behind the scenes to insulate broader bilateral relations from the ongoing judicial process in Canada. Officials from both sides are said to be striving to “ring-fence” strategic and economic cooperation from the diplomatic fallout of the Nijjar case. This pragmatic approach suggests a willingness to move forward without letting the past entirely dictate the future of their partnership.
Meanwhile, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi continues to engage actively in summit discussions, particularly on topics such as energy security, investment, and global development. Modi’s participation in key outreach sessions underscores India’s growing influence on the world stage and its strategic role in shaping the global agenda.
