At the G7 Summit in Evian, France, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump shared a brief interaction, marking their first in-person meeting in sixteen months. The leaders exchanged a warm handshake but skipped their usual embrace, signalling a tone of cautious optimism. A comprehensive forty-five-minute bilateral meeting between the two leaders is scheduled, with discussions expected to focus on the West Asia crisis, energy security, and global economic growth.
Prime Minister Modi's packed itinerary also includes crucial engagements with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and European Commission Chief Ursula von der Leyen, following earlier meetings with Canadian leadership and UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Addressing the summit, Prime Minister Modi highlighted a global deficit of trust, advocating for a 'trust but verify' approach to international relations. Amid the heavy diplomatic agenda, which includes resolving differences over the Strait of Hormuz, the summit also witnessed lighthearted moments between Prime Minister Modi and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
