The Group of Seven (G7) convened by videoconference at the heads-of-state level on 19 February 2021, with President Biden attending for the first time.
The final press release, infused with an ultra pro-active tone, contains only two concrete announcements:
The G7 will participate in the “COVAX facility” to ensure the equitable worldwide distribution of anti-Covid vaccines;
The G7 is relaunching globalization better: henceforth it will be "fair-and-square".
To understand what is hidden (...)

Communication - the only issue of the G-7 summit in Biarritz

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 27 August 2019
The G7,which was originally a meeting-place for the Western leaders to better understand their respective points of view, has now become a communication platform. Far from sharing their opinions in private, the guests have become actors in a media show in which each of them tries to deliver a convincing performance. The worst moment of this G7 was the surprise concocted by Emmanuel Macron for the journalists, and against his US guest.

16 June 2018
During the G7 dinner at Charlevoix, Donald Trump explained to his partners that he considered that the peninsular of Crimea really belonged to Russia. What is significant is the US President’s reasoning: all the inhabitants of Crimea speak Russian and not Ukrainian.
Up till now, the West was united in accusing Russia of using force to annex Crimea.
The G7’s final communiqué does not seem to include the annexation of Crimea in the dispute with Russia but only the conflict in Eastern (...)

It is particularly important, in this period of accelerated evolution of international positions, not to become blinded by one element or another, but to conserve all the elements under close scrutiny. By observing simultaneously the G7, NATO and the OCS, geographer Manlio Dinucci reveals the direction chosen by the Western powers.

G7 Leaders’ Statement on Venezuela

23 May 2018
We, the G7 Leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and the European Union, are united in rejecting the electoral process leading to the May 20, 2018, Presidential election in Venezuela.
By failing to meet accepted international standards and not securing the basic guarantees for an inclusive, fair and democratic process, this election and its outcome lack legitimacy and credibility. We therefore denounce the Venezuelan Presidential (...)

The G7 «order» is the Nato order

by Manlio Dinucci

Damascus (Syria) | 30 May 2017
Depending on your mental attitude, you will see the glass being half full or half empty. So Thierry Meyssan emphasizes what Donald Trump has achieved this week at the Nato and G7 summits, while Manlio Dinucci pauses to reflect upon Trump’s shortcomings – what he has failed to do. And so, a system is put in place – a system created not by laws debated and authorized by the Congress – but by the men encircling Trump. Men hell-bent on ensuring that Trump resists any change… enim sibi gerendum bellum est.
