LONDON, 25 February 2022, (TON): The Leaders of the Group of Seven (G7), met virtually and resolved to make progress towards an equitable world.

We, the Leaders of the Group of Seven (G7), met virtually today and resolved to make progress towards an equitable world. As open democracies, we are driven by shared values and universal human rights, our commitment to the rules-based multilateral system, sustainable development and the needs of the wider global community.

We are united in our commitment to addressing both the biggest systemic challenges and immediate crises of our time.

We condemn in the strongest possible terms the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We declare our unwavering support and solidarity for Ukraine and have issued a separate statement on the situation in and around Ukraine.

More broadly, we commit to protect and strengthen democratic systems and to step up our cooperation on global priorities such as climate, environment, and health.

The commitments we make today will shape our path towards a sustainable and inclusive economic recovery, and a prosperous and peaceful future.
