Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a statement at the G7 Summit Outreach Session on June 17, 2026, focusing on reviving balanced, shared, and sustainable economic growth for all. The address emphasized India's development philosophy of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas' (Together with all, Development for all, Trust of all, Effort of all) as the guiding principle for both domestic progress and global engagement.
Modi highlighted the India–Middle East–Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) as a historic strategic corridor connecting Asia, the Middle East, and Europe that accelerates trade, strengthens supply chains, and creates new opportunities for investment, employment, and innovation across partner countries. He noted that such initiatives should be characterized by local ownership, transparent financing, and clear vision for long-term sustainability.
The Prime Minister addressed the significant impact of disruptions to fuel, fertilizer, and food supply chains caused by the crisis in West Asia, particularly affecting the Global South. He called for International Financial Institutions to develop support mechanisms that help developing countries absorb such shocks and sustain economic resilience.
Modi proposed establishing the International Mobilisation Partnership for Accelerating Connectivity and Trade (IMPACT), which would bring together G7 capital, Indian talent, and ownership of Global South countries to create corridors connecting trade, technology, energy, and opportunity. He also proposed a Global Skills Partnership to work on skill mapping and promoting trusted skilled mobility, leveraging India's young talent, enterprise, and skills while addressing the challenge of ageing societies in developed countries.
The statement emphasized India's commitment to shared global prosperity through concrete actions, noting that India has concluded Trade Agreements with most countries represented at the G7 meeting. This reflects India's belief in integration rather than fragmentation, partnership over protectionism, and shared prosperity instead of uncertainty.
