G7 Leaders Fail to Reach Ambitious Joint Agreements on Key Issues

Canadian PM Mark Carney Closes Summit

- 

KANANASKIS: Six of the Group of Seven leaders discussed Russia's war in Ukraine and the Israel-Iran conflict but failed to reach major agreements on those and many other top issues – closing a summit that was forced to try and show how the wealthy nations' club might still shape global policy despite the early departure of US President Donald Trump.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and his counterparts from the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Japan were joined during Tuesday's final sessions by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and NATO chief Mark Rutte.

"We need support from allies and I'm here," Zelenskyy said, before adding, "We are ready for the peace negotiations, unconditional ceasefire. I think it's very important. But for this, we need pressure."
