What happened

The foreign ministers of one of the most advanced economies are gathering during G7 summit to tackle a world on fire.

Why it matters

Common ground

The Group of Seven is an exclusive, informal club made up of the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom, alongside the EU.

Perspective signals
