Canada focusing on peace, energy security and new collaborations at G7 conference: Carney
Prime Minister Mark Carney makes his method through the foyer of your house of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Thursday, June 5, 2025. Canada has actually unveiled its concerns for the G7 leaders’ summit just one week before it gets underway in Alberta as the federal government safeguards its decision to welcome India to the summit.

Canada plans to use its invitation for visitors outside the group to talk about how to secure an enduring peace in Ukraine, and to “build unions with reliable partners.” Carney is hosting the top in Kananaskis, Alta., from June 15 to 17, welcoming U.S. President Donald Trump on his first check out to Canada throughout this governmental term.
Canada is expecting to welcome leaders of the other liberal democracies that make up the G7: the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, and the European Union. In addition to the G7 members, the host nation can welcome other leaders in order to offer priority nations a voice at the summit.

At least 4 other global leaders have accepted their invites to Kananaskis: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
