[G7 May Not Issue Joint Communiqué for Second Consecutive Year] The G7 summit will be held in Evian, France, in mid-June. According to Japanese sources on the 24th, the summit may not issue a joint communiqué to avoid exposing the deepening divisions between the United States and other member states. Several officials stated that the G7 has not yet consulted on a comprehensive statement, and following last year's summit in Canada, the G7 may not issue a joint communiqué for the second consecutive year. To maintain international coordination, the G7 plans to issue outcome documents on specific areas such as securing key mineral supply chains. This reflects the difficulty in bridging differences within the G7, particularly between the United States and other member states, especially on issues like free trade. Meanwhile, divisions also exist within the G7 regarding the war with Iran. From the 18th to the 19th of this month, the G7 finance ministers met in Paris, France. Several G7 member states expressed disappointment with the United States and Israel's military action against Iran without considering the economic impact. They believe that in the event of a conflict, a blockage in the Strait of Hormuz is entirely foreseeable. (CCTV)
