The smooth developments and impressive results of the meeting create the feeling that this forum framework has just been reborn. Internal disagreements and mutual doubts that once caused the group to decline in position, role and influence in world politics, economy, trade and finance are no longer prominent. Instead, the meeting shows more substantive content, not just stopping at general statements, many compliments.
At the recent high-level meeting in France, this group caused a major surprise when it reached broad consensus on all contents of the agenda and for the first time agreed to identify specific goals along with a roadmap to achieve those goals in the future.
At this meeting, members of the G7 group broadly agreed on continuing strong military aid to Ukraine and increasing pressure on Russia to quickly end the conflict with Ukraine. Other members of this group succeeded in attracting US President Donald Trump's support in supporting Ukraine and putting pressure on Russia.
Another important result of the event for the G7 is the policy of reducing dependence on raw material supplies from outside the group, especially rare earths and strategic minerals. Accordingly, from now to 2030, the level of dependence on suppliers outside the G7 will be reduced to below 60%. This is a rare specific result of the G7 to date.
In addition, this group also agreed to support the temporary peace agreement and the peace talks between the US and Iran, making Mr. Trump extremely satisfied. President Donald Trump considers that support as confirmation that the temporary agreement proves that the US has defeated Iran.
The G7 at this summit also agreed on increasing pressure on high-tech corporations on control and sanctions for the use and application of artificial intelligence as well as on coordinating action to respond to epidemics (such as the current Ebola epidemic in Africa) and disaster response (such as floods or fires).
It seems that this group has achieved a very fundamental change both internally and in the direction of operations for the coming time. Internal consensus has become because Mr. Trump needs to take advantage and rely on the G7, so he is forced to be friendly and cooperative with other members of the group. Other members of the group have also gathered together into a bloc to respond to Mr. Trump in case he continues not to cooperate with them. Mr. Trump has realized that if he does not change his views and attitudes towards the G7 group, he cannot benefit from this group while he really needs to take advantage and benefit from the framework of this forum. For Mr. Trump, that change is mandatory while the G7 group thanks to it is as if rescued.
The developments and results of this year's G7 summit show that the group has begun to shift from a common discussion forum to specific actions, with clear goals and roadmaps. This reflects the perception that only when internal consensus and more practical activities are reached will the G7 have the opportunity to restore its former role in world politics and economy.
