“PM reiterated India’s stand against terrorism & thanked the leaders for condemning the ghastly Pahalgam terror attack. He urged them to galvanize global action against terrorism & underlined the need to take strict action against those who promote & support terrorism,” he said.
The April 22 attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, killed 26 people. In response to it, India launched Operation Sindoor, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
“In his address, PM highlighted the need to ensure energy security for all through a sustainable & green pathway and elaborated upon India’s global initiatives such as ISA, CDRI & the Global Biofuels Alliance, towards this objective,” Jaiswal said.
Modi also highlighted India’s experience in democratising the use of technology and its human-centric approach to deploying it.
“He called for addressing global governance issues to tackle concerns of AI and to promote innovation in the field,” said the MEA spokesperson.

Modi posted a picture on X with leaders of the seven-nation bloc and those invited to the G7 Summit in Kananaskis.
“Together for global progress! Productive exchanges with G7 leaders on key global challenges and shared aspirations for a better planet,” he said in the post.
In a separate post, Jaiswal said, “A collective commitment to addressing global challenges & promoting common values.” “PM @narendramodi with the leaders of @G7 countries and invited partners,” he said, attaching the same group photo.
