Sommet. The leaders of the G7 countries began arriving in the Japanese city of Hiroshima, a symbol of peace, on Thursday to discuss the strengthening of sanctions against Russia and measures to protect against “economic coercion” from China. The leaders of the G7 member countries (United States, Japan, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Canada) will try to present a united front against Russia and China, but also on other strategic issues where their interests are not always perfectly aligned.
