LONDON, May 5 (Xinhua) As the first in-person meeting in two years of the Group of Seven (G7) foreign and development ministers ended here on Wednesday, officials vowed to tackle economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and various regional security issues. Experts, however, have said the club of rich countries may prove to be inadequate to address global challenges if they fail to be more inclusive and seek exclusion of certain countries for reasons like ideological or political differences. LIKE-MINDED OR NARROW-MINDED To forge an alliance of like-minded countries, the G7 has invited representatives from the European Union, Australia, India, South Korea, South Africa, and this year s chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Brunei, for the three-day meeting.

Brussels: The Federation of German Industries (BDI) has urged Britain to stick to the post-Brexit trade deal ahead of a key debate and vote in the European Parliament on Tuesday to ratify the agreement. It is absolutely counter-productive that the British Prime Minister is constantly threatening to breach the agreement, BDI Managing Director Joachim Lang told Deutsche press agency (dpa).
Abiding by the agreement would strengthen trust in Britain as a place to do business, Lang asserted.
The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, which London has already ratified, conditionally came into force at the start of this year.

Speeding up integration EAC chief’s top priority
NEWLY appointed East African Community (EAC) Secretary General Dr Peter Mathuki, a Kenyan national, has kicked the ground running with the theme of speeding up the bloc’s integration.
At an evening reception organized here by the private sector at the weekend, Dr Mathuki said he will focus on achieving ease of doing business in line with the common market protocol.
The EAC is already a customs union and in principle geared to establishing a common market, and has also explored ways of forming a monetary union, the last format having died in 1966 paving the way for the creation of independent central banks in the region.
