MOSCOW, June 13 (Sputnik) – The leaders of the G7 nations issued a wide-ranging communique as they wrapped up a three-day summit, held in Cornwall in the UK.
The leaders have reaffirmed their interest in “stable and predictable” relations with Russia.
They also urged the Afghan warring sides to achieve a permanent ceasefire.
The G7 leaders added that they were determined to maintain support for the Afghan government to address the country’s urgent security and humanitarian needs, and to help the people of Afghanistan, including women, young people and minority groups, “as they seek to preserve hard-won rights and freedoms”.
The G7 nations have called for a complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula.
G7 also welcomed Washington’s readiness to continue its “diplomatic efforts in coordination with all relevant partners and call on the DPRK to engage and resume dialogue.”
The G7 nations have also reiterated their support for the Normandy Format to secure the implementation of the Minsk Agreements in eastern Ukraine.
G7 countries will continue to consult on collective approaches to challenging mon-market policies and practices undermining the transparency and fairness of the global economy, pledging to cooperate where it is in their mutual interest, they said.
In addition, the countries urged China to respect human rights and freedoms, including for people in Xinjiang and Hong Kong.
The leaders also expressed their concern about the situation in the East and South China Seas, mentioning that they “strongly oppose any unilateral attempts to change the status quo and increase tensions.”
Touching upon environment issues, the leaders of the G7 countries said they were hoping to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 at the latest.
The G7 countries will also set more ambitious emissions reductions targets for 2030 as part of efforts to speed up the process of reaching net zero, leaders said, adding that power systems should also be decarbonised.
The G7 leaders also pledged to mobilise $100 billion annually to help lower-income countries reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, according to the communique.
The G7 summit was held in the English seaside resort of Carbis Bay, Cornwall, from Friday through Sunday.
