Since its founding in 1975, the G7 has brought together the world’s leading economies to promote economic and financial stability, international peace and security, and cooperation. The G7 has proven its value as a forum for frank discussions, principled disagreement, and decisive action. In 2025, under Canada’s Presidency, the need for this forum has only increased.
Canada’s Presidency, including the G7 Leaders’ Summit that took place in Kananaskis, Alberta, from June 15 to 17, 2025, is an opportunity to:
It is also a moment to showcase the best of Canada:
-
our world-class expertise
-
our country’s extraordinary natural beauty and wealth of resources
-
who we are as Canadians—the true north, strong and free
On the G7’s 50th anniversary, Canada’s agenda is focused on three priorities to respond to global challenges and deliver lasting benefits to people in Canada and around the world.
Protecting our communities and the world
People everywhere want to feel safe—where they live, online, and across borders. The G7 is working to:
-
promote international peace and security
-
counter foreign interference, with a focus on transnational repression
-
fight transnational crime
-
address global pressures driving migration
-
boost collaboration to prevent, fight, and recover from wildfires
Building energy security and accelerating the digital transition
The digital transition and energy security are critical to shaping the future of the global economy. The G7 is collaborating to:
-
fortify critical mineral supply chains
-
drive AI adoption across public and private sectors
-
unlock the full potential of quantum technology to grow our economies
Securing the partnerships of the future
Long-term security and prosperity depend on building coalitions with reliable partners through mutual respect. The G7 is working together to:
-
attract private investment to build the infrastructure of the future
-
create higher-paying jobs for our citizens
-
open dynamic global markets where businesses can compete and succeed
Other priorities include a just and lasting peace for Ukraine and other areas of conflict around the world.
This G7 Presidency is an opportunity for Canada and its allies to confront the challenges of our time, united in a common cause. We are engaging allies and partners both within the G7 and beyond. We will continue to work with leaders and stakeholders from across Canada—including Indigenous partners, provinces and territories, business, civil society, and academia—to drive momentum on our G7 priorities.
