Why the question: India’s increasing engagements with G-7 amidst the Russia-Ukraine conflict and global power shifts make its evolving diplomatic role highly relevant for global conflict resolution analysis. Key Demand of the question: The question requires examining how G-7 summits reflect India’s growing global conflict resolution role while evaluating both opportunities and risks arising from this engagement. Structure of the Answer: Introduction: Highlight India’s rising global stature and recent G-7 participations in the context of conflict resolution. Body: India’s growing role through G-7 outreach (normative assertion, strategic balancing, facilitation role, global south representation). Opportunities emerging for India (global stature, economic ties, governance reform leadership, strategic flexibility). Risks involved (Western pressures, traditional partner tensions, dual standard perceptions, limited decision-making influence). Conclusion: Suggest India’s need for calibrated, balanced diplomacy to convert G-7 engagement into long-term strategic gains.
