G-7 Summit in Hiroshima: Balancing Peace and Preparedness Amid Tensions with China and Russia

The G-7 nations are set to unveil a new round of sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, as well as announce that they would redouble their efforts to enforce existing sanctions meant to stifle Russia’s war effort and punish those behind it. The leaders are also expected to discuss how to deal with China’s growing assertiveness and military buildup, as well as efforts to strengthen the global economy and address rising prices. The summit is being held in Hiroshima, with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida hoping to highlight the risks of nuclear proliferation.
