PM Modi’s participation in G7 Summit to boost synergy with G20: Japan envoy

Japan believes Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s participation in the G7 Summit will build synergy between the G7 and G20 processes, especially to address the issues of the Global South, Japanese ambassador Hiroshi Suzuki said on Thursday. India is among eight countries invited to participate in outreach sessions of the G7 Summit in Hiroshima during May 19-21 and Modi can speak “with legitimacy” for developing countries after having heard concerns of more than 100 of these nations during the Voice of Global South Summit in January, Suzuki said in an interview.
