Wenige Tage vor dem G7-Gipfel in Evian haben Vertreter der Teilnehmerstaaten mit China über den Abbau wirtschaftlicher Ungleichheiten beraten. "Wir sind gemeinsam zur Überzeugung gekommen, dass diese Ungleichheiten gefährlich sind", hieß es im französischen Präsidialamt.

Overview

  • The G7 summit will run from Monday, June 15 to Wednesday, June 17, 2026, in Évian‑les‑Bains on the shore of Lake Geneva.
  • French officials confirmed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will join a Tuesday morning session to seek renewed allied support and to press for air‑defence systems.
  • President Emmanuel Macron framed Zelensky’s appearance as a bid to restore a common G7 approach to the war in Ukraine and to open discussion of possible negotiations with Russia.
  • Macron has scheduled a separate meeting with leaders from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates to focus on the Iran‑related crisis and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
  • The summit will also host tech sessions on artificial intelligence and child online protection with industry figures including OpenAI’s Sam Altman, broadened outreach to five guest countries and high security with large French and Swiss deployments and planned protests in Geneva.
