Foreign Secretary visits G7 Japan and Pacific islands

Post by newspotted »

  • Foreign Secretary will meet G7 partners in Karuizawa, Japan this week.
  • Discussions will focus on accelerating support for Ukraine, ensuring a free and open Pacific region and promoting the Government’s priority of increasing economic growth.
  • Visiting the Pacific islands, Cleverly will listen to and offer support for regional priorities, in particular climate change.
Foreign Secretary, James Cleverly, arrives in Japan today (Sunday 16 April) for the G7 Foreign Ministers’ meeting ahead of a four-day visit to the Pacific Islands and New Zealand. The combined visit will focus on promoting a free and open Indo-Pacific – as the region becomes the centre of growing geopolitical competition.

At the three-day G7 conference (16-18 April) in Karuizawa, Cleverly will meet G7 Foreign Ministers, including the Japanese Minister for Foreign Affairs Yoshimasa Hayashi, to discuss closer ties around security and defence. He will also discuss opportunities presented by the UK’s recent accession to the CPTPP trade agreement, which strengthens the UK’s global trading relationship with its partners in the region and will help drive growth across the country in line with the Government’s five priorities.
