Italy is currently hosting the summit of the Group of Seven leading industrialized nations, following the recent European Parliament election that witnessed a rise in far-right support in countries like France and Germany, both G7 members. Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni, despite leading a far-right party, maintains a centrist stance, particularly in foreign policy, positioning herself as a reliable transatlantic partner amidst critical global events such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The G7 summit, running until Saturday, is concentrating on various global issues, including conflicts worldwide, the advancement of artificial intelligence, and concerns related to Africa. Italy's persistent worry about uncontrolled migration to Europe and the activities of human traffickers are also key topics. Additionally, the summit will address ongoing challenges like climate change and the evolving dynamics with China.
