Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Friday invited Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the G7 summit in Alberta later this month, an invitation Modi accepted despite strained ties between the countries.

Khalistani extremists in Canada protested Prime Minister Modi’s G7 invite by chanting pro-Khalistan and anti-Modi slogans. This comes amid improving India-Canada ties under new PM Mark Carney, who defended India’s role at the summit.

Toronto welcomes PM Modi's G7 invitation, seen as a chance for a bilateral reset. Some oppose it, citing concerns over pro-Khalistan sentiments.
