PM Modi unlikely to attend G7 Summit in Canada, first miss in 6 years: Sources

By our Special Correspondent

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is unlikely to visit Canada for the upcoming G7 summit amid frosty ties between Ottawa and New Delhi. The G7 is an informal grouping of the most industrialised economies in the world -- France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Japan, the United States, and Canada.

          India is yet to receive any official invitation for the summit, which is being hosted by Canada from June 15-17, nor is the Indian side inclined to attend, said sources, adding that the relationship must improve before any such high-profile visit takes place.
