Now that the international order has been shaken by Russia's aggression against Ukraine and China's military rise, how will Japan demonstrate the shared values and unity of the G7?
Japan is serving as this year's chair of the Group of Seven industrialized nations and will host a summit in Hiroshima in May.
"As this year's chair of the G7, Japan will play an active role," Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a telephone conversation Friday evening. "We will strengthen our ties with Ukraine and further promote bilateral cooperation."
