On May 26 and 27, the leaders of Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy and Canada, along with the presidents of the European Council and European Commission, will attend the annual Group of Seven leaders' summit in the Ise-Shima district of Mie Prefecture.
Prior to that, a number of G-7 ministerial-level summits, including foreign, energy, and finance ministers' meetings, will be held in other cities around Japan.
The talks, especially the leaders' summit, are expected to focus on broad long-term international political, social, and economic issues, as well as specific political and economic issues of more immediate concern to the G-7 members.
