This weekend the worlds leading democracies meet for the G7 Summit in cornwall in england. World questions debates how they will deal with the worlds major challenges. Hello and welcome. I am Jonny Dymond and this is world questions, the G7 Summit. The gathering of World Leaders is happening here in the uk. Im in london and im video linked to an international panel drawn from each of the g7 countries. The g7, or group of seven, consists of the seven most advanced economies. They are responsible for more than half of global net wealth, and they are all democracies. This weekend, their leaders will be debating some of the most pressing issues facing the world and attempting to lead. To mark the occAsion, we gather together our own parallel meeting with leading figures and experts drawn from each of the g7 countries. There will be facing questions from around they will be facing questions from Around The World Climate Change, rebuilding after the pandemic, even the threat to democracy itself. There are huge issues for them to tackle. Heres our own g7 panel. From japan, Parliamentary Miniter for defence. Bob rae, from canada, ambAssador to United Nations. From italy, director of the institute for international affairs. From france, former Foreign Affairs editors for the newspaper lexpress. From the usa, Christopher Hill, former ambAssador to iraq. From germany, the Deputy Director of the Xi Society Foundation for europe and eurAsia. Of the Xi Society Foundation for europe. And from here in the uk, we have the chair of parliaments Foreign Affairs collect committee, tom. Welcome to you all. Our first question, it comes from oliver in hong kong. My question is how can the G7 Hope to compete with china that refuses to play by international rules and uses its seemingly unlimited resources to push his agenda and every sphere abroad. Thanks, oliver. How can g7 use its seemingly limitless resources to push its agenda and every sphere abroad. Here, we have restrictions on democratic freedoms in hong kong. Flybys over taiwan with the controversial claims that china hAs made over the south China Sea, just to name but a few. AmbAssador hill in the us, the question, how can the G7 Hope to compete with china when it refuses to play by the rules . Can it hope to . This is perhaps the great link between president trumps Administration And President biden� s, standing up to china. Of course it can. I think one of the hallmarks of the g7 is the concept that these are a group of democracies, like minded countries who share values. And they also, i think its very important for them to get together and discuss this challenge to our values, and the challenge to World Leadership. I think President Biden hAs been very clear, As hes just been and just arrived in the uk, hes made very clear the lAst 2a hours that he considers the summit extremely important. He wants people to know that the united states is back on the stage. He realises this is going to be a work in progress, there are a lot of things we will have to pick up on, and certainly, one of them is dealing with china. China is not going anywhere. China is a very serious player and will be for many years, but we need to figure out policies where together, we can work on shaping the environment for china to perhaps make some changes in the way they approach their environment. Also, i want to mention the Courage Of Oliver in speaking to us from hong kong, which hAs really faced the brunt in the Way China hAs behaved in recent years. Some of the reAsons why they need to be seized with this issue. I can Assure you when you look at the trump administration, the biden administration, there are so many differences its almost night and day. One area where it is not so different is in the matter of dealing with china. We need to have a forceful Response And Work with others. There is no one single country that can do that, but the g7 together can. Nathalie tocci, do you think italy hAs a different perspective perhaps on china, given its desire perhaps for investment, given its own position in the world . Perhaps different from the us, the uk . No, i think there hAs been really quite a significant change. I think ithink under i think under previous governments,. Wearers. With an understanding of china. Indeed, there wAs questioning whether it is transatlantic credentials, As they have been historically. I think with the current government there hAs been a very clear repositioning of italy at the transatlantic court, and a very clear distancing from china. So, i think were back to a more traditional italian foreign policy. And a place in The International community. Daniela, weve heard near unanimity from the panelists on this question. How can the G7 Hope to compete with china . Is germany aligned further with the other members of the g7 . I think today, germany hAs a very realistic perception of what china is. L ns a rising power. An economic partner to germany, is a rising power. An economic partner to germany, an economic partner to germany, but it is a competitor, and thats what the government hAs always emphAsised. I believe more can be done and there could be more i Asis-on-human-rights'>EmphAsis On Human Rights and other issues. But we also need to look at the issues and we and we need to partner with china, but As and we need to partner with china, but As we and we need to partner with china, but As we said and we need to partner with china, but As we said earlier and we need to partner with china, but As we said earlier on, and we need to partner with china, but As we said earlier on, climb and we need to partner with china, but As we said earlier on, climb it i but As we said earlier on, climb it will be but As we said earlier on, climb it will be a but As we said earlier on, climb it will be a big but As we said earlier on, climb it will be a Big Topic.

In the us and reallyjapan is now very happy that the major European Countries like the uk or france or germany have more interest in the pacific. What i would like to say about china is for china, Japan And China hAs a long history and we are neighbours, geographically we are neighbours, geographically we are close, we want a very stable relationship, yet Ourjapanese Territory is actually. By chinese. It is a time for the democracies to have the their Deterrence Capability increAsed, united at the g7, and sending a clear message to china that it is not chinese interests to take aggressive action is to neighbourhood or in the south China Sea or Ast-tennessee'>EAst Tennessee and to observe the internationaL Order, so that it is good for china too, actually. But i think what we have to do now is have a united deterrence capabilities and clear message to china that it can be more safe to observe internationaL Order with an order established.

The emergence creative and we have seen this. The emergence of what is called the magnitsky sanctions in a number of countries, magnitsky sanctions in a number of countries, which hAs made a difference in terms of our ability to implement sanctions and make them more targeted and more effective. The fact more targeted and more effective. The fact we have been able to create new Accountability Mechanisms in dealing new Accountability Mechanisms in dealing with the situation in syria and in dealing with the situation in syria and in dealing with the situation in myanmar, and in dealing with the situation in myanmar, even though, you know, we dont myanmar, even though, you know, we dont have myanmar, even though, you know, we dont have the institutional strength to actually enforce things more strength to actually enforce things more quickly, we face this dilemma since more quickly, we face this dilemma since 1945 more quickly, we face this dilemma since1945. The structures more quickly, we face this dilemma since 1945. The structures we created since1945. The structures we created are not perfect, but i think there created are not perfect, but i think there is created are not perfect, but i think there is a created are not perfect, but i think there is a much stronger Keener Sense there is a much stronger Keener Sense among a number of us that we have to sense among a number of us that we have to become more effective and indeed have to become more effective and indeed muscular in how we try to implement indeed muscular in how we try to implement International Law effectively and how we engage in various effectively and how we engage in various coalitions of countries that are willing various coalitions of countries that are willing to engage together to make are willing to engage together to make sure that the bullies in the world, make sure that the bullies in the world, that the authoritarian countries world, that the authoritarian countries in the world are brought to trook countries in the world are brought to book and i think that is extremely important. We are facing this growing crisis of authoritarianism. It hAs affected your country, the tally, very much, and your your country, the tally, very much, and your ambAssador does a greatjob here in and your ambAssador does a greatjob here in talking about it on the general here in talking about it on the general floor of the Assembly, but we all general floor of the Assembly, but we all recognise there is much more to be we all recognise there is much more to be done we all recognise there is much more to be done and i think that is a clear to be done and i think that is a clear consensus that you will find talking clear consensus that you will find talking to clear consensus that you will find talking to a great many countries. Daniela, talking to a great many countries. Daniela, the question is about the usefulness or not of the united Nations Security council and of course The International court of justice. Germany hAs come under a lot of Pressure And Criticism because of its attitude towards russia, which the question is pointing towards here and in particular about cooperation with russia over the transport of natural gAs. Does germany have a different attitude towards russia, compared to many other members of the g7 . fin Attitude towards russia, compared to many other members of the g7 . On the more fundamental many other members of the g7 . On the more fundamental question many other members of the g7 . On the more fundamental question that many other members of the g7 . On the more fundamental question that he more fundamental question that he hAs raised, and the question of law, the integrity of territory, i see no difference at all. The way the german government hAs always framed the two gAs Projects Pipeline from russia, whilst it is a Project Run by companies, so a private sector project, that is of course only half the truth because any Energy Project of that kind with such a partner is of that kind with such a partner is of course a hugely political project and you can see that the government hAs come round to understanding this when it started putting a lot of political energy into negotiating gAs through ukraine to slightly compensate but it wAs doing with the new As-pipeline'>GAs Pipeline outside of ukraine. I personally think this is one of the big geopolitical mistakes of the government to actually go into the construction of this pipeline because it undermines german credibility from the perspective of a number of central and eAstern European Countries, As well. However, and this is the story that the government tells, it is the way to keep engaged with russia. So there are those two stories and it is also true that from a european perspective, it is of course not helpful to cut all ties with russia and where the balance needs to be found and again on the more fundamental question that italy hAs raised, i think it is of utmost importance that all European Governments and the united states, bAsically all g7 members, continue emphAsising that the respect for the integrity of territory or the Rule Of Law for peaceful mechanisms to solve conflicts, that this is the bAsis of our international cooperation. BAsis of our international cooeration. ,. , cooperation. Thanks, daniela. Tom tugendhat. Cooperation. Thanks, daniela. Tom tugendhat, chair cooperation. Thanks, daniela.

After the g7 comes nato for President Biden and then after nato comes theirfirst President Biden and then after nato comes their first meeting, the first meeting of President Biden and vladimir putin.

Well, first of all, i hope that we will not have l all, i hope that we will not have any of these frankly inappropriate one on one meetings where we have no idea what wAs done, so. I am pretty sure we will have a return to normalcy. Our president will sit down with the russian president , they will have a meeting, proper notes will be taken and i think there will be an exchange of the agenda items. I do not expect any huge breakthroughs, but i think Mr Putin should go away from that meeting with a clear understanding of what the biden administration is expecting. In terms of the substance of the meeting, one the big issues is of course corruption, which will be there, but the biggest issue will be there, but the biggest issue will be this issue of cyber attacks. We have had a number of us companies attacked are ovulate in so called ransomware attacks, where many of these companies have actually been paying this money and we have determined that many of these attacks have come from russia and at best you can say the Putin Government hAs been indifferent, more likely they have been complicit. So i think there will be issues of that kind to discuss. I agree with the proposition that the us hAs to have at leAst a good means of communication with the russian leadership, but i think it needs to be clear and consistent and i think we will look for a meeting where President Biden will lay it out and laid out very clearly, so there will be no misunderstandings about where we stand. ,. ,. , i.

Well, it is indeed a big issue, not only because of the l issue, not only because of the climate, but because in the wto we are meAsuring countries with different scales. But the point of china is that there are deep inequalities within the country and if you look at gdp per capita levels, china is indeed not anywhere where europe or the united states are. However, china hAs highly competitive sectors of its industry. It is leading on technology in some regards and that is why europeans are really looking into this question, whether there is fair treatment Assured if access to china is permitted upon rules that were supposed to provide a level playing field. Well, china is very protective of its own market, of its public procurement, for instance, but also really tries to protect its own status As a Developing Country.
