The Saudi Embassy has not confirmed if the prince would participate in the summit. Saudi Arabia is not a member of the G7, but country leaders who are not part of the group are frequently invited to the annual meeting.
Mohammed bin Salmane had received the invitation to join the G7 top last year in Italy, but he did not go there.
