At the second meeting within the framework of the Group of Seven (G7) Summit in Hiroshima (Japan), the leaders of this group issued a statement affirming that they will increase energy and development support for emerging and developing countries that are facing many difficulties in terms of investment capital and foreign debt.
G7 leaders urged all countries in the world not to "weaponize" the economy to achieve political goals.
In the statement, the G7 stressed the urgency of strengthening supply chains for industrial materials such as semiconductors and taking necessary measures to counter unilateral trade restrictions. The G7 called on all countries to adhere to the principles of "transparency, diversification, security, sustainability, credibility and trust" in building supply chain networks.
G7 leaders agreed to take measures to ensure food security amid limited supplies, partly affected by the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
The G7 Summit took place over three days from May 19 to 21 in Hiroshima. On the first day of the conference, the leaders of the G7 countries called for a “ world without nuclear weapons”.
On the second day of the meeting, G7 leaders discussed issues such as strengthening the semiconductor and food supply chains, public health, development aid, gender equality and climate change. The final day of the summit is expected to discuss promoting world peace .
