Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said his presence at the G7 Summit in Japan is particularly meaningful as India currently holds the G20 presidency.
In the departure statement ahead of his six-day three-nation tour, Modi said he is looking forward to exchanging views with the G7 countries and other invited partners on the challenges that the world faces and the need to collectively address those.
“I would also be holding bilateral meetings with some of the leaders attending the Hiroshima G7 Summit,” he said, adding that it will be a pleasure to meet his Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida.
