G7 Summit opens in France with Ukraine, Iran and AI on agenda

World leaders are in Évian-les-Bains, France, for the 52nd G7 Summit, with wars, oil security, artificial intelligence and the global economy dominating the agenda. The summit brings together leaders from France, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan, Italy and Canada, along with invited partner countries and organisations.Ukraine is expected to remain a major focus, with G7 leaders discussing pressure on Russia and support for Kyiv. The Middle East is also high on the table after the Iran conflict and fresh concerns over energy security and the Strait of Hormuz. Artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure, trade risks and global economic instability are also expected to shape discussions. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is attending as India joins the summit as a partner country. For New Delhi, the G7 is a platform to raise issues linked to the Global South — growth, energy security, climate finance, technology access and geopolitical stability. As world leaders meet in France, the key question is whether the G7 can move beyond statements and respond to a world shaped by war, oil shocks, debt pressure and AI disruption.
