After three days of meetings in Japan, the G7 summit ended on Sunday 21 May with final press conferences. The summit was supposed to address topics such as China's "economic coercion" and climate change.
But the surprise arrival of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky monopolized the event. The G7 timetable was already very tight, it was necessary to juggle and compress the programme of bilateral meetings, says RFI's special envoy to Hiroshima, Vincent Souriau. It was also aimed at expanding the coalition of support for Ukraine to the countries of the South.
