00:09in Canada, which is hosted by the Canadian Prime Minister. It is widely seen by the Global

00:16Indian Diaspora Alliance and various commentators as a crucial opportunity to react and improve

00:25the strained Indo-Canadian relations. The prevailing sentiment is that this G7 summit

00:35will offer a significant chance to move past the recent diplomatic chill, largely stemming from

00:43allegations made by the previous Canadian government. The invitation by Prime Minister

00:49Kani is viewed as an olive branch and a soft restart for the bilateral tiles.

00:58The Indian diaspora and experts emphasize that both countries have much to gain from a

01:05strengthened relationship, particularly in the area like trade, economics, critical minerals,

01:12academic and technical collaborations. There is a strong desire to focus on shared interest

01:19and mutual respect. The deep-rooted people-to-people connection, including the large Indian student

01:27and diaspora in Canada are highlighted as a foundational strength that should underpin

01:36the relationship and foster better understanding. The community both in Canada and India are very close

01:48and we are happy to see that the Prime Minister as always is emphasizing to have a cordial relationship.

01:57The invitation to Prime Minister Modi for the G7 summit despite India not being a member underscores

02:06India's growing global influence as a world's most populous country and fourth largest economy.

02:16The diaspora sees this as a recognition of Indian pivotal role in global supply chain and its importance

02:25to the world economy. In a sense, the Global Indian Diaspora Alliance alongside various voices

02:46to rebuild trust, enhance cooperation and usher in more constructive and mutually beneficial

02:54phase of Indo-Canadian relationship. We all, members of Indian diaspora,

03:02India, welcome the positive move and hope the things will be better in the coming tomorrow.

03:09The world is passing through a critical phase and the G7 meeting that is taking place in Alberta

03:30will be a great opportunity for the world leaders to brainstorm and come up with solutions to find

03:36peace. Our Prime Minister Mark Carney has invited Mr. Narendra Modi from India which is a welcome step.

03:43There have been issues between India and Canada in the past few years and I hope this during this

03:48meeting things are sorted out and a new path is chosen whereby both the countries develop and prosper.

03:55We need to have better relationship in trade, in investments, technology and both India and Canada can prosper by this.

04:04The large Indian diaspora in Canada which is over a million people want peace, stability and progress.
