The G7 summit hosted by this year’s Italian G7 presidency is taking place in Borgo Egnazia, Apulia, Italy.

The EU will be represented by the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, and the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.

The main issues to be addressed during the six working sessions are:

  • Africa, climate change and development
  • the ongoing situation in the Middle East
  • Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine
  • migration
  • Indo-Pacific/economic security

The Italian presidency has also invited leaders from 12 countries and 5 international organisations to take part in some working sessions during the summit.

At the end of the summit, the leaders are expected to adopt a leaders’ communiqué.

Leaders have been meeting in the G7 format since 2014, following the Russian Federation’s violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The EU as a G7 member

In 1977, representatives of the then European Community participated in the London summit. Originally, the role of the EU was limited to those areas in which it had exclusive competences, but this role has expanded over time.

The EU has gradually been included in all political discussions on the summit agenda and, since the Ottawa summit (1981), has taken part in all summit working sessions.

The EU has all the responsibilities of membership. The summit communiqué is politically binding on all G7 members.

The presidency has rotated as follows: Canada in 2018, France in 2019, the USA in 2020, the United Kingdom in 2021, Germany in 2022, Japan in 2023, and Italy in 2024.
