Japan G-7 Summit

With the component of realist international competition removed, the G-7 and China actually share many hopes and desires for global development.

“The G-7 has exemplified Japan’s identity as a liberal democracy as well as serving as a valuable tool to sustain the economic growth of the global economy.”

“The fact that the summit took place in Hiroshima in the middle of Russia-Ukraine war (in which Russia has not been hesitant to use nuclear intimidation) was significant.”

Kishida’s biggest achievement thus far may be showing Japan that sitting out on all conflicts is perhaps no longer an option.

Essential talks were held, but more is now needed.

Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio kicked off his summit diplomacy by meeting with leaders from the U.S. and U.K.

Japan’s G-7 presidency is a significant opportunity for Tokyo to incorporate its expanding partnership with India in the context of the G-7’s broader strategic roadmap for the region.

A visit by Kishida and Yoon to the Monument in Memory of the Korean Victims of the A-bomb will mark a watershed in the historic reconciliation between the two nations.

Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio faces a challenging task.

Washington and Tokyo can contribute conclusively to global governance in the service of peace, prosperity, and pluralism.

Japan’s Prime Minister Kishida is pursuing deeper cooperation with the developing world even while prepping to host a summit of advanced economies.
