World Leaders Land In Hiroshima For G-7 Meeting

 

 CNBC: As G-7 Summit kicks off in Hiroshima, China and Russia are on everyone’s minds 

* The Group of 7 will meet at a crucial time for slowing global growth as a result of hawkish central banks aiming to bring down inflation. 

* Leaders will discuss international trade and security as the world grapples with an ongoing war in Ukraine and worries over U.S.-China decoupling persist. 

The annual Group of 7 summit officially kicks off on Friday in Hiroshima, Japan. 

Leaders of the seven major industrial democracies – Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom, and United States – will discuss the future of global relations and the world economy as it faces a number of uncertainties: growing geopolitical tensions, central banks’ combat against rising inflation and a U.S. debt ceiling deadlock. 

Also under the spotlight are the countries invited for the gathering, including Australia, Brazil, India, Indonesia, South Korea, and Vietnam – nations with pivotal roles to play in regional alliances as the rift between Washington and Beijing deepens.
