Alberta Premier Danielle Smith Welcomes Global Leaders at G7 Summit

 

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is set to greet world leaders as they arrive in Calgary for the highly anticipated G7 summit. The three-day event, hosted in the scenic Kananaskis region, will bring together leaders from the world's most advanced economies, including Canada, the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom, along with the European Union.

Smith's role extends beyond welcoming dignitaries—she will also host a reception for representatives from non-member countries and engage in bilateral meetings throughout the summit. While details of these meetings remain undisclosed, Smith has consistently emphasized Alberta’s position as a key player in global energy markets. Her recent international engagements, including visits to Japan, South Korea, and the United States, have focused on strengthening Alberta’s trade relationships and securing energy partnerships.

Prime Minister Mark Carney, as the summit’s host, has invited additional leaders, including Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Energy security is expected to be a major topic of discussion, with Alberta’s vast resources playing a central role in conversations about global supply and sustainability.

As the summit unfolds, Smith aims to showcase Alberta’s economic strengths and reinforce its position as a reliable energy supplier on the world stage. The event marks a significant opportunity for the province to engage with international leaders and shape discussions on trade, energy, and global cooperation.
