The 51st G-7 summit is about to begin in Canada. The leaders of the seven major economies, Canada, the United States, France, Italy, Japan, Germany and the United Kingdom, have already arrived in the country. In addition, invited leaders of the EU and countries not included in the G-7 have also arrived in the country to participate in the meeting. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also been invited to this summit.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that the Middle East conflict could become the focus of discussion at this meeting. It is expected that the war between Russia and Ukraine will also be discussed. Ukrainian President Zelensky is one of those invited to the summit. He may once again discuss the war with US President Donald Trump.
On the other hand, French President Macron arrived in Greenland on Sunday before joining the summit. This visit is believed to be to assure the Danish autonomous island of the European Union of cooperation. Earlier, Trump wanted to bring the island under the control of the United States.
But the main topic of discussion will likely be the tensions in the Middle East. Last Friday, Israel launched an unprecedented attack on Iran. In which top military officials, nuclear scientists and senior officials were killed. Tehran claimed that 78 people lost their lives in the attack.
Israel and Iran then continued to exchange attacks throughout Saturday night. Many people were killed in both countries. The Israeli government said that Iran had fired a total of 200 missiles and drones into Israel. These missiles and drones hit at least 22 areas. In addition to the 13 deaths, 380 were injured in the Israeli attack. They claim that children are among the casualties.
