The 52nd G7 Summit was held in Évian-les-Bains, France, from 15 to 17 June 2026. Leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union met with invited partner countries, including India. Discussions focused on global security, economic resilience, artificial intelligence, climate action, and stronger supply chains for critical minerals. 

The leaders reaffirmed support for multilateral cooperation and explored ways to address conflicts, strengthen digital governance, and promote sustainable growth. India highlighted the concerns of the Global South, including development, climate finance, and reform of international institutions. The summit also encouraged responsible use of emerging technologies while balancing innovation with ethical safeguards.
