While speaking at an Iftar event for journalists covering foreign affairs in Bangladesh, he expressed pride in her invitation to the G7, a group known as the influential leaders of the world. The ruling Awami League's central sub-committee on international affairs organized the event, with General Secretary Obaidul Quader as the chief guest. Ambassador Mohammad Zamir, Chairman of the sub-committee, International Affairs Secretary Shammi Ahmed, and other members like Barrister Shah Ali Farhad and Nadia Choudhury were also in attendance. The Prime Minister is currently in Canada to participate in the G7 outreach session, invited by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. This elite club has invited Hasina, the leader of a developing country, for the third time, which Foreign Minister Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali described as "unprecedented". Hasina previously attended meetings in Japan in 2016 and Italy in 2001. Ali stated that this recognition of the prime minister's strong role in world peace and development is also a recognition of her efforts in addressing climate change, women and children affairs, and the blue economy. The other members of the grouping include France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the US. The prime minister is scheduled to discuss the topic of 'enhancing resilience through integrated adaptation planning, emergency preparedness, and recovery'. She will meet with Trudeau on Sunday before heading back to Dhaka on Tuesday. The Awami League's sub-committee on international affairs introduced themselves to journalists during the Iftar event, as the committee has recently been established. Shammi Ahmed encouraged journalists to provide constructive criticism when discussing government activists.
