In connection with the G7 Summit, which was held in the United Kingdom and closed on the 13th, at a press conference after the Cabinet meeting, Foreign Minister Motegi said at a press conference after the Cabinet meeting that Japan would take measures against the new corona virus and respond to the rise of China. We evaluated that we were able to actively contribute to the discussion of the issues facing Japan and reflect it in the Leaders' Declaration.
In this, Foreign Minister Mogi said, "Currently, the importance of multilateralism and international cooperation is shared by G7 countries. It is the first time in two years that a face-to-face summit has been held, but during this time corona problems, climate change, and free economy , We exchanged opinions frankly amid major changes in issues such as regional conditions. "
He said, "I met Prime Minister Suga at the official residence earlier, and while deepening the relationship of trust with the G7 leaders, he actively contributed to the discussion of important issues facing the international community, and was able to lead frank discussions between the leaders. I just talked about it. "
On top of that, "Japan participates as the only G7 member in Asia, and it is good to take into account the clear idea summarized at the previous G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting on important issues such as the realization of a free and open Indo-Pacific and the increasingly severe regional situation. I think I was able to put together a communiqué. "
