G7 today: Carney to meet with Modi, Zelenskyy

Prime Minister Mark Carney is to hold bilateral talks with both Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alberta today.

The G7 will continue for its second and final day without U.S. President Donald Trump who left the talks early on Monday, citing the escalating tensions in the Middle East between Israel and Iran as the reason for his departure.

Trump will miss meetings that will focus on foreign policy.

Carney will meet privately with Zelenskyy, who is set to join a G7 leaders breakfast session on ending Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Modi will meet with Carney late this afternoon after attending various meetings, including a discussion on energy sovereignty with political heads from South Africa, Brazil and Mexico.
