India's global standing has grown manifold under PM Modi: BJP on Canada's G7 invitation

PM Modi receives historic G7 Summit invitation, showcasing India's rising global influence and strategic importance on the world stage.

"Those who once tried to diminish India's global reputation are now themselves in the dust. - Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi"

New Delhi, June 7

Following Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s official invitation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attend the upcoming G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta later this month, the BJP hailed the gesture as a reflection of India’s growing stature on the global stage.

Senior BJP leader and former Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi emphasised how India's global influence has risen sharply over the past decade under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership.

“I believe that in these 11 years under Narendra Modi ji, India's prestige and influence on the world stage have grown exponentially. Those who once tried to diminish India's global reputation are now themselves in the dust. There were speculations about whether an invitation would come or not, well, here it is, right before you,” Naqvi said while speaking to reporters on Saturday.

Echoing similar sentiments, senior BJP leader Dilip Ghosh added, “It’s not just the Prime Minister of Canada today, the whole world wants to work with PM Modi and with India. Why? Because India has become the fourth-largest economy and a major strategic power. India’s decisive action against Pakistan has demonstrated the quality of its defence systems and the strength of its military.”

Prime Minister Modi received a formal phone call from Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Friday, inviting him to the G7 Leaders' Summit.

Although India is not a permanent G7 member, it has once again been invited as an Outreach Country, a recognition of its growing economic and geopolitical influence.

This year’s summit marks the 50th edition of the G7. Last year, Italy hosted the G7 Summit in Apulia, which was PM Modi’s fifth consecutive participation and India's 11th overall as an invited nation.

The G7 comprises Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, along with the European Union. India’s repeated inclusion in these high-level discussions signals its increasingly central role in shaping global policy on climate, security, economy, and technology.

This is indeed a proud moment for every Indian! 🇮🇳 Our PM has worked tirelessly to put India on the global map. From economic growth to strong foreign policy, the world is finally recognizing India's potential. The G7 invitation is proof that our voice matters in international forums now.

While I appreciate India's growing global presence, I hope this translates to better opportunities for our middle class and farmers too. International recognition is good, but domestic issues like inflation and unemployment need equal attention. Let's not forget ground realities while celebrating diplomatic wins.

Remember when Western nations used to lecture us? Now they're inviting us to their top tables! Modi ji's foreign policy has been masterful - whether it's dealing with China at the border or making friends with the US. This G7 invite is just another feather in India's cap.

I'm happy but cautiously optimistic. We must ensure these international engagements benefit common Indians. Canada has had some tensions with us recently - hope PM Modi uses this platform to address those issues too. Global standing is important, but so are our national interests.

Being invited repeatedly shows we're no longer just spectators but key players in global affairs! From climate change to tech innovation, India has valuable contributions to make. Hope we leverage this position to get better deals for our industries and workers abroad.

The BJP leaders are right about our growing influence, but let's not get carried away. We still have challenges like poverty and education to tackle. Global recognition should be used to attract investments and technology that can help solve our domestic problems. That's the real test of leadership.
