Prime Minister Mark Carney says the "strands" of a new world order could be woven at the G7 summit starting Monday in Évian-les-Bains.
Carney made the remarks during a discussion at Trinity College Dublin while on a six-day trip to Europe. He noted that this year's G7 will include countries beyond its traditional membership—Kenya, Brazil, Egypt, and India will participate alongside the core members.
Carney said these additional partners will bring a "broader perspective and a broader element of the solution" to the talks. In January, the prime minister delivered a speech in Davos calling on middle powers to band together in the face of great powers, which received global reception.
France, which is leading the summit, has identified priorities including settling major geopolitical crises through G7 support to Ukraine, crime prevention, and online protection for children.
