The final day of the Group of Seven leaders’ summit is under way in Japan’s Hiroshima, with all eyes on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his talks with international leaders.

Zelenskyy, who made a dramatic entrance at the summit last night, held bilateral talks this morning with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Indonesian President Joko Widodo.

Later, he is expected to meet United States President Joe Biden and give a speech to rally support for his country’s defence against Russia’s 15-month onslaught in Ukraine.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, the summit host, has expanded the guest list for the gathering in a bid to rally a greater share of the international community to work together on global challenges, including the war in Ukraine.
