The second day of the G7 Hiroshima Summit will be held on the 2th, with discussions on the theme of economic security starting shortly after noon. Against this backdrop, the government announced that President Zelensky of Ukraine would visit Hiroshima to attend the summit.
On the second day of the G7 Hiroshima Summit, in the morning, we exchanged views on the ideal relationship with emerging and developing countries known as the "Global South."
From around 2:0 p.m., a discussion will be held on the theme of economic security.
Prime Minister Kishida and other leaders of various countries have stated that they would like to confirm that each country will cooperate in responding to so-called "economic coercion," which seeks to influence the policies and decision-making of other countries through measures such as embargoes, bearing in mind China, which is strengthening its influence through trade and other means.
In response to these coercive acts, the G7 is scheduled to release an outcome document that includes the launch of a "coordination platform" to support affected countries.
In the afternoon, discussions will be held on climate, energy, and food.
Among them, regarding the decarbonization of automobiles, it was found that we will confirm that carbon dioxide emissions will be halved by 7 based on the number of vehicles owned by G2035 countries.
In the economic field, we will compile an action statement on food security, which includes an action plan to accelerate the transition to clean energy and support for the reconstruction of agriculture in Ukraine, and will be released as an outcome document.
Meanwhile, the government announced that Ukrainian President Zelensky will visit Hiroshima to attend the G7 Hiroshima Summit.
President Zelensky is expected to arrive in Hiroshima in the afternoon of the 20th.
Prime Minister Kishida, who chairs the meeting, intends to appeal his unwavering solidarity with the G7 by directly conveying sanctions against Russia and his policy of continuing to support Ukraine.
