G-7 summit expresses ‘unwavering support’ to Kyiv
ANKARA (AA): The Group of Seven (G-7) summit in Hiroshima concluded on Sunday with deliberations on the Russia-Ukraine war and other hot-button issues.
The participants expressed “unwavering support” to Kyiv, Japan’s Kyodo news agency reported, citing a statement issued at the end of the summit.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, at a press conference at the end of the three-day huddle, said the G-7 leaders shared what he called the “idealistic” goal of ridding the world of nuclear armaments, adding that threats to use nuclear weapons “must not be accepted.”
He said the leaders agreed to further tighten economic sanctions on Russia to “undermine the country’s capacity to continue its aggression.”
Kishida said the group was ready to establish “constructive and stable ties” with China, which has stepped up efforts in recent years to bolster its military influence in the region.
He urged Beijing to “act responsibly” in the international community, without elaborating further.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also participated in the huddle.
The Japanese premier said Zelenskyy’s in-person attendance helped send “a strong message” on the Ukraine crisis.
