G7 Leaders Address Migration Concerns Amid Economic and Global Priorities
The G7 summit, hosted by Italy and led by right-wing Premier Giorgia Meloni, has focused on several key topics, including migration, artificial intelligence, global conflicts, and climate change. The leaders of the seven leading industrialized nations have discussed providing financial support to Ukraine, addressing the war in Gaza, and finding solutions to Iran's issues. On the second day of the summit, attention turned to economic security, migration, and artificial intelligence, with some divisions emerging over the wording of the final declaration. Italy has emphasized the importance of a new strategy on migrants, with irregular migrant arrivals to Italy more than doubling in 2023 compared to last year. Tunisia has become a major stepping-off point for migrants seeking to reach Europe. The G7 leaders have pledged billions of dollars to Ukraine and expressed appreciation for Italy's presidency of the summit.
These are not the same sensitivities that there are in your country today... I regret that but I respect it, because it was the sovereign choice of your people.
The coming weeks will create the conditions for political opportunities in particular around the two conflicts.
The aim of the G7 is to create convergence and be able to remove misunderstandings. It's not a place where you decide emergency measures or regulate things.
We are working together and with others to address the pressing challenges of our time.
We can't have criminal gangs decide who comes to our countries.
This is the route that we intend, together with our partners, to put in place: this coalition to fight against the smugglers, these criminal groups which are abusing (vulnerable people) to make money and to destabilize regions and countries across the world.
