Failed meeting

The entire world was looking at G7 leaders for some concrete outcome but but nothing happened. I feel it was a very disappointing meeting. I thought they will talk about conflict resolution but no use.  (“G7 leaders fail to reach agreements on key issues,” Gulf Today, June 19, 2025.) Six of the Group of Seven leaders discussed Russia’s war in Ukraine and the Israel-Iran conflict but failed to reach major agreements on those and many other top issues — closing a summit that was forced to try and show how the wealthy nations’ club might still shape global policy despite the early departure of US President Donald Trump.

G7 leaders know they are followed worldwide and they are head turners. We all look at them with great admiration. They should do something to make this world a better and peaceful place.
