CP NewsAlert: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrives in Alberta for G7 summit

By Canadian Press on June 16, 2025.

KANANASKIS — Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s plane has touched down at the Calgary airport, as he is set join other world leaders for the G7 summit in nearby Kananaskis, Alta.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has been criticized for his decision to invite Modi to the gathering, and there have been protests in Calgary and Ottawa.

Canadian security officials have linked Modi’s government to the murder of a Canadian man two years ago.

Former prime minister Justin Trudeau and the RCMP said there was evidence linking agents of the Indian government to the killing of Sikh separatism activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, B.C.

The summit is scheduled to wrap Tuesday, when leaders are expected to focus on foreign policy and the heads of several non-member countries or international institutions are to attend.

The G7 includes France, the United States, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom and Italy, as well as the European Union.

More coming.
