INDIAN Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend next week’s G7 Summit in France, as well as a technology conference in Paris, New Delhi’s foreign ministry said Tuesday.

Modi’s attendance is part of a two-nation trip to France and Slovakia, starting Saturday in Nice, where he will meet with French President Emmanuel Macron.

He then heads to Slovakia on Sunday, where he will meet with Prime Minister Robert Fico, the first visit by an Indian premier since its independence in 1993.

Modi then returns to France to attend the G7 summit in the Alpine lakeside resort of Evian on 16-17 June.

The Group of Seven countries are Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States.

US President Donald Trump has confirmed his attendance, and India’s foreign ministry said Modi is expected to meet with “several world leaders” on the sidelines, without giving further details.
