EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France, June 15 (Reuters) – The Group of Seven wealthy nations will meet on Monday in the French lakeside resort of Evian-les-Bains to discuss wars in Ukraine and Iran, global economic imbalances that threaten financial stability, and the irrepressible rise of AI.<\/div>\n
In its 50-year history, the G7 has faced geopolitical catastrophes, from the 1970s oil crisis to the global fallout from \u200bU.S. President Donald Trump’s military strikes against Iran – as well as questions about its role as multilateralism falters and other countries’ economic and political \u200cpower grows.<\/div>\n

WHAT IS THE G7?<\/h2>\n
The G7 is an informal grouping of wealthy nations. It has no permanent secretariat or legal status.<\/div>\n
Its members are the U.S., Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan. The European Union attends all summits but does not count as one of the core “7” and does not hold the rotating presidency, as it is not a single nation but a bloc of 27.<\/div>\n
Russia was included \u200bin what became the G8 in 1997, but was later suspended in 2014 after annexing Crimea from Ukraine.<\/div>\n
France took over the presidency from Canada in 2026.<\/div>\n

HOW \u200bLONG HAS IT BEEN AROUND?<\/h2>\n
The G7 was founded following the 1973 OPEC oil embargo as a forum for the richest nations to \u2060discuss crises affecting the world economy. Its member states have a combined annual GDP of more than $50 trillion – just under half the world economy.<\/div>\n
The scope of the G7 \u200bwas expanded in the 1980s to include political issues.<\/div>\n
In recent years it has become customary to invite other nations. This year, the leaders of India, South Korea, Kenya and Brazil \u200bare among those invited.<\/div>\n

WHAT’S ON THE AGENDA AT THE EVIAN-LES-BAINS SUMMIT?<\/h2>\n

SUPPORTING UKRAINE<\/h2>\n
The G7 will want to show unity in its support for Ukraine, faced with a Russian war now in its fifth year.<\/div>\n
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has proposed face-to-face talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin to try to end the war. He wants Europeans to play a more prominent role in the process, worried the U.S. is distracted \u200bby the conflict in Iran.<\/div>\n
The G7’s European members want to persuade Trump that Ukraine’s position has strengthened, Europe is now shouldering the financial, military and political burden of Ukraine’s \u200bwar effort and the G7 should agree on how to approach meaningful negotiations with Putin.<\/div>\n
Zelenskiy will be in Evian-les-Bains for the discussion on Ukraine.<\/div>\n

IRAN<\/h2>\n
The G7 leaders meet shortly after the U.S. and \u200cIran announced they \u2060had agreed on a framework to end their war.<\/div>\n
The agreement is not due to be signed until Friday, but G7 leaders will want to know the details of the accord and in particular how quickly the vital Strait of Hormuz can be reopened to shipping traffic. Trump said it would reopen on Friday and that he had ordered the end of the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports.<\/div>\n
In the run up to the G7 meeting, France had been keen for an agreement within the G7 and with Middle East partners \u200bon the demands that can be made of \u200bIran over its nuclear and ballistic \u2060programs.<\/div>\n
The leaders of Egypt, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates will join the discussion.<\/div>\n

CORRECTING GLOBAL ECONOMIC IMBALANCES<\/h2>\n
France summarizes the imbalances as: China produces too much, the U.S. consumes too much and the Europeans invest too little.<\/div>\n
There is growing alarm in the West at China’s \u200brecord trade surplus and move up the value chain. Beijing has defended its industrial policies and rejected allegations of Chinese exporters \u200bunfairly benefiting from state \u2060subsidies.<\/div>\n
Macron has sought to make a last-ditch attempt at a cooperative approach before the EU decides whether to toughen its trade policy towards China.<\/div>\n
With China absent from the table, no breakthroughs are expected. France says acknowledgment that a problem exists is a win in its own right.<\/div>\n

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE<\/h2>\n
France has invited about a dozen senior tech executives including OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Anthropic \u2060CEO Dario Amodei \u200bto discuss the latest artificial intelligence technologies and the possible threats and opportunities they offer.<\/div>\n
The protection of \u200bchildren online and digital infrastructure will also be on the agenda, but not the taxation of digital giants.<\/div>\n

DEBT BURDEN OF DEVELOPING NATIONS<\/h2>\n
The G7 leaders are likely to express their resolve in addressing the heavy debt burden \u200bfaced by many emerging market and developing countries. It is not clear what this commitment will mean in concrete terms.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
