World leaders are starting to arrive in Japan for the G7 Summit to take place in the city of Hiroshima, between this Friday (19) and Sunday (21).
The group is formed by the seven most industrialized nations in the world: Germany, Canada, United States, France, Italy, Japan and United Kingdom. Eight other countries were invited to the meeting: Brazil, Australia, Comoros, Cook Islands, India, Indonesia, South Korea and Vietnam.
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) landed in Japan this Thursday (18), accompanied by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mauro Vieira.
This will be Lula’s seventh participation in G7 meetings as a guest. This year, the Brazilian Chief Executive was invited by the Japanese Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, German Prime Minister Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron also disembarked on Thursday.
US President Joe Biden arrived in the morning. He met with Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, emphasizing relations between the two countries amid China’s growing military and economic ambitions, as well as the ongoing war in Ukraine.
“The bottom line, Prime Minister, is that when our countries are together, we are stronger. And I believe the whole world is safer when we do,” Biden told Kishida.
