Hiroshima – Faced with growing competition from authoritarian states such as Russia and China, the G7 heads of state and government are drawing closer together. At their three-day summit in Hiroshima, Japan, on Saturday, they set out to reduce their economies’ dependency, promote new technologies and ward off political pressure. In addition, Ukrainian President Volodmyr Zelenskyy has arrived in Hiroshima and is expected to participate in negotiations on Sunday. The seven major Western industrialized countries also set new targets for climate protection and called for regulation of artificial intelligence, as shown in the summit’s declaration.
