2025 will see Canada hosting the 51st G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta. A G7 was first held there in 2002. Following the recent wave of elections in 2024 and flowing into 2025, the G7 Summit will be attended by new heads of states from Germany, Japan, the UK, the US, and the host nation itself.
The G7 marked its 50th anniversary this year when Italy hosted the Summit on June 13-15th in Apulia, southern Italy. In line with the common values of freedom and democracy that underpin the G7 states, Italy aimed to focus on defending the rules-based liberal international system and promoting cooperation with the Global South.
