Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya conveyed this information through the Presidential Secretariat in Jakarta, Saturday.
"In addition to the official written invitation, the invitation for President Prabowo to attend as a guest of honor at the G7 Summit was also conveyed directly by the Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, via telephone yesterday," the statement said.
During their telephonic conversation, PM Carney praised President Prabowo's leadership and expressed strong hopes for his attendance at the summit.
The G7 is an international forum comprising the world's seven largest economies—Italy, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States—alongside the European Union.
This annual meeting serves as a strategic forum to discuss major global issues, including economic growth, financial stability, climate change, and geopolitical dynamics.
According to the official 2025 G7 Summit page, Canada emphasized the importance of multilateral cooperation in addressing complex and urgent common challenges, including climate change as a top priority, by encouraging the transition to clean energy, reducing carbon emissions, and increasing climate resilience across sectors.
G7 leaders will also strategize ways to foster inclusive and sustainable global economic growth, including responding to inflationary pressures and post-pandemic economic uncertainty.
The forum will also discuss digital technology governance, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence (AI) use, aiming to foster ethical and safe innovations to open up new economic opportunities globally.
Security issues, including overcoming armed conflict, terrorism, and transnational crime, are also considered a key agenda. The importance of enhanced cross-country collaboration in maintaining world stability is also underscored.
Moreover, the G7 will highlight the agenda of sustainable development, global health, and women's empowerment as part of its commitment to advancing humanitarian values and social justice.
