Earlier, the main opposition party Congress had targeted the Modi government over the nation’s absence from the G7 Summit while terming it as a “big diplomatic bungle”.
In a post on X, Jairam termed it as another “big diplomatic bungle”, and said that for the first time in six years, India will not be in attendance at the Summit.
Jairam Ramesh viewed India’s absence from the G7 Summit as a significant diplomatic oversight. He emphasised that India’s participation in such forums is crucial, given its growing global influence and the need to shape international policies.
“The tradition of inviting Indian PMs continued after 2014. But now, for the first time in 6 years, Vishwaguru will not be in attendance at the Canada summit. Whatever spin may be given, the fact remains that this is yet another big diplomatic bungle,” the Congress leader added in the post.
He specifically highlighted that former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had attended the Summit in 2007 where the famous Singh-Merkel formula for climate change negotiations were unveiled.
