Gaza, Ukraine and AI on G7 summit agenda | BBC News

Italy's PM Giorgia Meloni has welcomed leaders of the world's seven richest nations at the G7 summit in Italy.

The members - Canada, France Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the United States - meet throughout the year to discuss global events, with one set-piece summit a year.

They are expected to discuss a number of issues, including the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.

The group cannot pass laws - but some of their past decisions have had global effects, including backing a deal in 2021 to tax multinational companies.

This year, the summit is expected to agree a plan to use frozen Russian assets to raise billions of dollars for Ukraine.

When I have meetings with co-workers that are geographically diverse I use Zoom or Google Meet. These are the same people who criticize ordinary folk who drive cars and go on an annual trip abroad. The hypocrisy is astounding.

I wonder if they have a private competition on who can be the most unpopular ruler? It would explain alot.

[cheese-power]

They are there to enjoy food and sunshine without solving a single problem of their citizens’.

They should be having multiple, serious talks about AI. Regularly scheduled talks even, it’s that important.

G 7 established 50 years ago. but they don't realise that other countries over take them economy during this 50 years.

Please stop calling Fratelli d'Italia "Brothers of Italy". Fratelli in Italian also means siblings not just "brothers". Brothers & Sisters of Italy?...or just keep the original name, it's not difficult.
