First, the preamble emphasizes that the G7 is more united than ever to meet global challenges and pave the way for a better future, and clearly states that it will strengthen a free and open international order based on the rule of law.

Amid growing concerns about food crises, the government will take concrete measures with support for developing and emerging countries known as the "Global South" in mind.
