Before leaving for the summit, PM Modi had said that he is happy that he is going to Italy on his first foreign tour. Modi said, "The discussion in the outreach session will focus on artificial intelligence (AI), energy, Africa and the Mediterranean region." He said, "This will be an opportunity to bring more synergy between the results of the G20 summit chaired by India and the upcoming G7 summit and to discuss important issues for the Global South."

Increased cooperation between India and Italy

PM Modi will also hold a bilateral meeting with Italian Prime Minister Meloni on the sidelines of the G7 meeting.

He said, "We are committed to strengthening the India-Italy strategic partnership and increasing cooperation in the Indo-Pacific and Mediterranean regions." The Prime Minister is likely to hold several bilateral meetings apart from the summit.
