Canada gears up for G7 leadership amid global uncertainty
In 2025, Canada will lead the G7, hosting top global leaders in Alberta during a period marked by domestic and international instability.
As the host, Canada will coordinate high-level discussions on defense, digital regulation, and economic challenges among the G7 nations, which include the U.S., France, Germany, Japan, the U.K., Italy, and the EU.
Key events will culminate in a summit from June 15 to 17, focusing on pressing global issues and potentially influencing international policies at venues like the United Nations.
This will be Canada’s seventh time chairing the G7 since joining in 1976.
Amidst these responsibilities, Canada faces internal political pressures, with calls for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign and national support for his party at a historic low.
The summit presents a crucial opportunity for Canada to assert its influence on the global stage.
It will also help Canadian leaders to advance major initiatives such as artificial intelligence and human rights, while seeking firm support for Ukraine against Russian aggression.
