G7 draft confronts China’s ‘unfair’ business practices, drops ‘abortion’ mention after wording dispute

Pope Francis, United Arab Emirates' President Mohammed bin Zayed, Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and French President Emmanuel Macron attend a session on Artificial Intelligence , Energy, Africa and Mediterranean on the second day of the G7 summit in Borgo Egnazia, Italy, June 14, 2024.

The pope had meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, and was due later to have talks with other leaders, including US President Joe Biden.The draft summit statement, reviewed by Reuters, stressed the G7 was not trying to harm China or thwart its economic development but would “continue to take actions to protect our businesses from unfair practices, to level the playing field and remedy ongoing harm”.

During the first day of their meeting in southern Italy, the G7 nations agreed on a deal to provide US$50 billion of loans for Ukraine backed by interest from frozen Russian assets — hailing the accord as a powerful signal of Western resolve. The issue has caused a dispute between France and Italy after Rome — which holds the G7 rotating presidency — demanded the removal of a reference to “safe and legal abortion” from the final statement.
