G7 LEADERS Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa, South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, US President Joseph R. Biden, France’s President Emmanuel Macron, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attend a working session during G7 summit in Carbis Bay, Cornwall, Britain, June 12.
Japan will chair the meeting of finance ministers and central bank governors from the G7 nations in the Indian city of Bengaluru. The meeting will come almost a year since Russia invaded Ukraine, calling it a “special military operation”. “Support for Ukraine and sanctions against Russia will be the main topics of discussion,” Suzuki told a news conference. “We will continue to closely coordinate with G7 and the international community to enhance the effect of sanctions to achieve the ultimate goal of prompting Russia to withdraw.”
