Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former U.S. President Donald Trump will hold bilateral talks on June 17 [1] in France.
The meeting occurs on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains [2]. This high-level engagement marks the first face-to-face discussion between the two leaders since February 2025 [3].
The White House said the two leaders intend to discuss bilateral ties and broader global security concerns [4, 5]. While some reports suggest the meeting could occur as early as June 16 [6], multiple sources confirm the scheduled date as June 17 [1, 3].
The G7 summit provides a diplomatic backdrop for the two nations to align their interests on international stability. Both leaders have previously emphasized the strategic importance of the India-U.S. partnership in maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
Although some early reports indicated that the discussions might focus on recent attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, official sources have not confirmed this specific agenda item [7]. The focus remains on the broader strategic relationship between the two countries.
“The leaders will hold bilateral talks on June 17 to discuss global security and bilateral ties.”
This meeting signals a continued effort to maintain strategic alignment between India and the U.S. despite shifts in political leadership. By utilizing the G7 summit as a venue, both leaders can address multifaceted security issues and economic ties within a multilateral framework, reinforcing the importance of the bilateral relationship to global geopolitical stability.
