G-7's Guest Nations Reflect Outreach and Concerns.
The G-7 summit in Hiroshima will include eight guest nations, including South Korea, Australia, India, Brazil, Vietnam, Indonesia, Comoros, and the Cook Islands. The guest nations reflect an effort to stand up to China's assertiveness and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, while also strengthening ties with U.S. allies and developing nations. The summit aims to form a unified front against Chinese threats to Taiwan and Russia's war on Ukraine, and to work towards a nuclear-free world. The guest nations have complex political and economic ties with China and Russia, and some lead regional and other bodies.
