India in G7 Summit: Two important messages emerge from India’s participation, virtually, in the summit of the world’s leading industrial democracies in the Cornwall region of South Eastern England over the weekend. One is Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s proclamation that India is a “Natural Ally” of the G-7 and its partners. The other is the emphasis on shared democratic values that bind India with the West. This was reflected in a statement on “open societies” that India issued along with the members of the G-7 and three other invited guests — Australia, South Africa and South Korea. Prof C Raja Mohan tells The Indian Express’ Aakash Joshi how India can leverage this goodwill.
