While I appreciate our PM representing India, I hope this visit improves relations with Canada after the Khalistan issue. Our diaspora there faces difficulties because of the tensions.

Energy security discussions are crucial for India's development. We need affordable tech transfers from G7 nations to meet our renewable energy targets. Hope PM Modi negotiates good deals.

Sixth consecutive G7 invite shows the world respects India's voice now. But I wish our media would focus more on what actual agreements come out of these summits rather than just photo ops.

Canada's beautiful mountain scenery in the background! 😍 On serious note, hope the bilateral talks address the extradition issues and security concerns properly. Our sovereignty can't be compromised.

As an Indian student in Canada, I'm excited but also nervous about this visit. Hope it leads to better protections for Indian students here and more educational collaborations between our countries.
