G7 ITALY 2024
Fasano, Italy.
Set against the landscape of southern Italy, the G7 brings together the leaders of the world’s major industrial democracies alongside representatives of the European Union. Hosted by Italy, the summit convenes heads of state and government, ministers, and senior officials in a highly secured setting designed to facilitate political coordination at a moment of global uncertainty.
The agenda reflects the breadth of current international challenges. Discussions focus on geopolitical stability, with particular attention to ongoing conflicts, transatlantic relations, and support for Ukraine. Economic resilience, energy security, and the management of global supply chains feature prominently, alongside climate change, migration, and cooperation with countries of the Global South. Artificial intelligence and technological governance also emerge as key themes, highlighting the tension between innovation, regulation, and democratic oversight.Beyond formal meetings, the summit underscores the role of diplomacy as both performance and negotiation, projecting unity while navigating divergent national interests. In Fasano, the G7 positions itself as a forum for coordination among established powers, seeking to shape responses to crises that extend well beyond the boundaries of the summit itself.
