‘Global South’ guest nations India and Brazil will be asked to help counter any ‘attempt to evade sanctions’ against Russia
There is little disagreement on either subject within the G7, but considerable space between member nations and other countries that will be attending the Hiroshima meetings as part of Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio’s outreach to the so-called “Global South.”
Mr. Kishida has invited eight guest nations to join this weekend’s summit, including India and Brazil who, along with China, Russia and South Africa, form the BRICS bloc,. Both New Delhi and Brasilia have maintained a supposedly neutral posture in the Ukraine war, continuing to trade with Russia, hampering G7-led sanctions against the Kremlin.
Given neither Brazil nor India have “supported the G7′s efforts to isolate Russia,” Dr. Brown said talks with those countries will likely “soft pedal on geopolitical matters” and instead focus on tackling issues such as food prices. On this issue, there is broad alignment within the G7 but not complete agreement. Some members, particularly France, want to take a softer approach towards Beijing, encouraging Chinese President Xi Jinping’s purported desire to be a peacemaker in Ukraine and downplaying tensions over the self-ruled island of Taiwan, which China claims and has vowed to seize by force if necessary.
