It has been learned that Prime Minister Meloni of Italy, who holds the Presidency of the G7 = seven major countries this year, is making arrangements to visit Japan in early February and meet with Prime Minister Kishida, and support for Ukraine has been announced. This is seen as a confirmation that the G7 will continue to work together on these issues.
Italian government officials told NHK on the 28th that arrangements were being made for Italian Prime Minister Meloni to visit Japan for two days from February 4th to 5th and hold talks with Prime Minister Kishida. It was revealed that
Prime Minister Meloni's visit to Japan is his first since the G7 Hiroshima Summit in May last year.As Italy's G7 chair this year, he met with Prime Minister Kishida of Japan, who held last year's chair, and discussed Russia's military invasion. This appears to be a confirmation that the G7 will continue to work together to provide support to Ukraine, which is currently undergoing a crisis.
The G7 Summit is scheduled to be held from June 13th to 15th in the Puglia region of southern Italy, and as Europe and the United States point out ``fatigue with aid'' to Ukraine, Italy, as the host country, will discuss how it will proceed. Demonstrating leadership skills will also be a focus.
