The G7 summit has started in Cornwall, with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson urging fellow leaders to “build back better” as the world recovers from the Covid pandemic.
Johnson said it was vital to learn from the “mistakes” of the 2008 financial crisis and tackle the “scar” of inequality.
US President Joe Biden is among those being hosted by Johnson for the three-day meeting, as well the leaders of France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Canada.
It is the first face-to-face summit of the G7 – representing most of the world’s biggest economies – since before the pandemic started early last year. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council president Charles Michel are also attending.
