Germany wants to persuade India to impose sanctions against Russia
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz plans to invite Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a special guest to the G7 leaders' summit. This is reported by the Bloomberg agency, citing its sources.
According to media reports, the Indian leader will try to persuade him to impose sanctions against Russia at the event. Germany, which is chairing the summit, may announce a decision as early as this week.
According to Bloomberg, Scholz initially doubted whether India should be invited because of its neutral attitude toward Russia. But in the end, the German leader decided to engage Modi in a dialogue. Scholz also sees an opportunity to cooperate in other areas, such as climate change and defense.
