The 49th G7 summit was held from 19 to 21 May 2023 in the city of Hiroshima in Hiroshima Prefecture.[2][3]

Leaders of G7 countries joined in Hiroshima to discuss a number of challenges to peace and prosperity facing the global order while consulting with invited guests. The issues discussed included the Russian invasion of Ukraine and effects on the international order, climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, and other geopolitical crises. To resolve these issues, the G7 pledged to uphold the free and open international order based on "the rule of law", and strengthened the G7's outreach to emerging and developing countries.[4]

The long invitees list reflects attempts to influence the "Global South", a term used for developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, all of which have complex political and economic ties to both Russia and China.[5]

Many geopolitical commentators[who?] remarked that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy received much attention and dominated the summit,[6] and that the Hiroshima summit achieved many objectives.[7]

The leaders' communiqué featured commitments and statements on a range of topics including climate, health, food security, and technology. However, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, nuclear nonproliferation, and economic security were the most prominent.[8][9] Other five standalone statements were issued.[10][11][12][13][14]

In not one but two statements, the G7 made clear to China their stance on divisive geopolitical hot spots such as the Indo-Pacific and Taiwan, but the most important part of their message centered on what they called "economic coercion".[15][16][12]

Leaders at the summit

Background

Fumio Kishida chaired the 49th G7 summit.

All G7 member states participated, including the representatives of the European Union. International organizations, such as the United Nations (UN) and World Trade Organization (WTO) were also in attendance.

Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, G7 member states heavily sanctioned Russia, which was a member until 2014, with some arming the Ukrainian military with weapons.[17] Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was invited to a virtual summit meeting of G7 leaders, which was held on 24 February 2023, the first anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[18]

Japan held the presidency of the G7 for 2023, and in an attempt to reach to the “Global South'' of nations, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida invited the leaders of Australia, Brazil, Comoros, Cook Islands, India, Indonesia, South Korea, and Vietnam.[19][20][21] All nations accepted the invitations, with India hosting the 2023 G20 New Delhi summit.

This was the eighth G7 summit for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, having first attended the 42nd summit in 2016. It was also the seventh G7 summit for French President Emanuel Macron, and the third G7 summit for EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU Council President Charles Michel. This was US President Joe Biden's third G7 summit. Indonesian President Joko Widodo previously attended the 42nd and 48th summits as an invitee.[22] Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had previously attended the 45th, 47th, and 48th summits as an invitee. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was also virtually present at the 48th summit, making this his second G7 summit as an invited guest. The 2023 summit was the first summit for British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, and Meloni had to return early due to floods in Italy.[23][24] Therefore, ambassador of Italy to Japan Gianluigi Benedetti was present as the proxy.[25]
