G7 Leaders Address Trade, Nuclear Threats, and Peace at Summit in Japan.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese supports the G7 joint statement on the need to ease reliance on trade with China, citing concerns about China's activity and the need to enhance peace, security, and stability in the region. The statement comes amid a recent thaw in Australia-China relations, with China set to resume imports of Australian timber and talks underway about a visit by the prime minister to Beijing. The G7 statement referred to de-risking, not decoupling economic engagement with China, while the Quad leaders sought a region "where no country dominates and no country is dominated", language that also appeared targeted at China.
