Street. IVES, England – World leaders gathered in southwest England for a summit of the Group of Seven leading economies, as rich nations planned to collectively donate one billion doses of a Covid-19 vaccine to poor nations and President Biden hoped to rally the world’s democracies against authoritarian nations.
Mr Biden, on his first international trip as president, met the leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom under a gray sky on a beach in Cornwall.
The first live G7 gathering since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic is set to be dominated by how the club of rich nations can pool resources to help stem the spread of the virus in developing economies and re-emphasise soft things. The strength of democratic states in the process.
“This is a meeting that really has to happen,” British Prime Minister Boris Johnson told leaders as they gathered around a table to discuss how to rebuild from the pandemic. “We need to make sure that some of the mistakes we made are undoubtedly not repeated,” he added.
Leaders from other major democracies – South Korea, South Africa and Australia – will attend the summit later while Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will participate via video link due to the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic in his country.
