India is the fifth largest economy in the world and it is central to a number of critical global supply chains, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Friday invited Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the G7 summit in Alberta later this month, an invitation Modi accepted despite strained ties between the countries.

Responding to the media query as to why Prime Minister Narendra Modi was invited to the G7 Summit despite tensions over the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said India is central to several supply chains.
