Leaders from the Group of Seven (G7) nations will outline steps on Saturday aimed at reducing risks from China while preserving economic ties.
The heads of government of the world's richest democracies are grappling with the challenges posed by China and Russia at a three-day summit in the deeply symbolic Japanese city of Hiroshima.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is due to arrive in Hiroshima on Saturday to drum up support for his country's defence effort. His arrival in the world's first city attacked by an atomic bomb comes as nuclear threats from Russian President Vladimir Putin have unsettled the West. The leaders would outline a common set of tools to address economic coercion, including steps to build more resilient supply chains and efforts to protect sensitive technologies through export controls and outbound investment measures, Sullivan said.
China has voiced concern that the summit would turn into a "political show" against Beijing. China's embassy in Tokyo issued a statement on the eve of the summit expressing grave concerns about recent signs of "negative" China-related moves at the G7 meeting.In Taipei on Saturday, Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen pledged to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait as China has stepped up military pressure on the island.
