India is one of eight nations that have been asked to take part in outreach events at the G7 Summit in Hiroshima from May 19 to 21.According to Japanese ambassador Hiroshi Suzuki on Thursday, Japan believes that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s presence in the G7 Summit will increase the G7 and G20 processes’ ability to work together, particularly to address challenges of the Global South.Suzuki said in an interview that India is one of eight nations that have been invited to take part in outreach sessions of the G7 Summit in Hiroshima from May 19 to 21. Modi can speak “with legitimacy” for developing countries because he heard the worries of more than 100 of these countries during the Voice of Global South Summit in January.
Fumio Kishida, the prime minister of Japan, said close coordination between the G20 and G7 is “critically important” to forge unity in a world that is becoming more polarised and to address issues facing developing nations, such as rising food and energy prices, energy security, climate change, sustainable development, and health.
