PM Modi attending the summit of the Group of Seven (G7) countries like Italy, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States.

Talking about his speech at G7 summit PM Modi said, "Spoke at the G7 Outreach Session on AI and Energy, Africa and Mediterranean. Highlighted a wide range of subjects, notably, the wide scale usage of technology for human progress. The rise of technology in various aspects of human life has also reaffirmed the importance of cyber security. Spoke about how India is leveraging AI for its development journey. It is important that AI remain transparent, secure, accessible and responsible."

"As far as energy is concerned, India’s approach is based on availability, accessibility, affordability and acceptability. We are working to fulfil our CoP commitments before the designated time period. India is working to usher in a Green Era, based on the principles of Mission LiFE. Also highlighted the campaign “एक पेड़ माँ के नाम” to make our planet more sustainable."

"Reiterated India’s commitment to speak about the well-being of the Global South, which is ironically a major sufferer during any global uncertainty. India will also continue working closely with Africa, a glimpse of which was seen during last year’s G20 Summit when African Union became a permanent member of the forum and that too during India’s Presidency."
