G7 Nations in Talks Over Ukraine Joint Statement, Canada Says
OTTAWA (Reuters) - The Group of Seven nations are still discussing a possible joint statement to mark the third anniversary of the war between Ukraine and Russia, Canada's foreign minister said on Monday, noting a disagreement with Washington's position on the conflict.
"We've been working, indeed, with the Europeans and Americans. We are still having some conversations," Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly told a virtual briefing with reporters when asked about the status of a joint G7 statement.
Canada holds the G7 presidency in 2025.
"Canada and other countries don't agree with the position that the U.S. advocated at the UN, particularly the resolution that they brought up," Joly said, referring to a U.S. bid to tone down the U.N. General Assembly's stance on the war.
