G7 foreign ministers and outreach guests gathered for a family photo during a ministerial meeting in Canada on Wednesday (12 November).
Representatives from Australia, Brazil, India, Mexico, South Africa, South Korea, Ukraine, NATO, the United Nations, and the World Bank were among the outreach participants.
The meeting, held in Canada’s Niagara region, focused on the war in Ukraine and the situation in the Middle East, at a time when President Donald Trump’s peace initiatives are facing growing challenges.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio attended the session and is expected to face questions from partner nations over Washington’s efforts to halt the war in Ukraine and implement the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire deal.
The gathering takes place after a planned summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Trump was postponed last month, following Moscow’s refusal to agree to an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine — a move that has cast a shadow over ongoing peace efforts.
