India among invitees to G7 summit as Japan PM looks to counter China's assertiveness

India Today  

India is among the eight invitees to the Group of Seven summit in Hiroshima this week. The mix of countries invited by Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to attend the G7 summit is seen as an attempt to help efforts of countering China's assertiveness and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Here's a look at what to expect as the rich world leaders welcome these guest countries: PUSHBACK ON CHINA, RUSSIA As their top diplomats did last month in a meeting in Nagano, Japan, the leaders of the G-7 nations - the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, Italy and the European Union - will try to form a unified front against the Chinese threats to Taiwan and Russia's war on Ukraine. "When the UN adopts resolutions, you see a considerable number of its 190 or so member states are 'Global South' countries," said Choi Eunmi, a Japan expert at South Korea's Asan Institute Policy Institute. Kishida, Yoon and US President Joe Biden are expected to meet on the margins of the G-7 summit to discuss North Korea's nuclear ambitions, China's growing influence and the Russian-Ukraine war.
