Prime Minister Mark Carney says next week’s G7 summit could help bring together a broader group of countries to address major global challenges. Speaking during a discussion at Trinity College Dublin while on a six-day trip in Europe, Carney frames the meeting as a chance to weave “strands” of a new world order. According to reporting, he links the summit to efforts that go beyond traditional economic coordination, including work on regulating artificial intelligence as well as responses to geopolitical conflicts.
The coverage also places Carney’s remarks in the context of earlier international engagements. One outlet notes that in January he delivered a speech in Davos calling on middle powers to play a greater role in shaping global outcomes. While details of specific initiatives at the G7 are not provided in the excerpts, the reporting is consistent that Carney expects the summit to convene a wider range of countries and to tackle issues that span technology policy and international security.
