The Foreign Secretary is in Charlevoix, Canada for the G7 Foreign
Ministerial Meeting.
Ahead of the meeting, the Foreign Secretary said:
“As we celebrate 50 years of the G7, we must continue the
legacy of this group in shaping world history for the better,
including by ensuring Ukraine is in the strongest possible
position to secure a just and lasting peace.
“If we do not lasting achieve peace in Ukraine, the
instability and insecurity that has hit the living standards of
working people in Britain will only get worse and Putin's
appetite for conflict and chaos will only grow. Delivering this
government's Plan for Change depends on European security and
global stability.”
The number one priority for this Government is the growth of the
UK economy. The aggregate GDP of G7 member states make up over a
quarter of the global economy – they are all crucial partners to
British growth. will use the Foreign
Ministerial Meeting to continue to champion growth with some of
our most important partners.
At the G7 the Foreign Secretary will attend eight sessions,
focusing on Ukraine, the Indo-Pacific, the Americas, the Middle
East, Africa, and maritime security. The UK and France will
co-lead the session on support for Ukraine, and the Foreign
Secretary will look to galvanise the G7 around peace through
strength for Ukraine. G7 members have collectively pledged more
than $100 billion in financial and military aid to Ukraine.
