Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and fellow leaders of the world's most powerful democracies are gathering in Hiroshima, Japan, for Group of Seven meetings.

The G-7 nations are set to unveil a new round of sanctions against Moscow when the summit officially opens tomorrow, to further punish Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.

The @G7 Leaders’ Summit is starting. I’m here to work with leaders from the world’s most advanced economies and strongest democracies – together, we’ll confront issues being felt by people around the world. There’s more to come over the next few days, so stay tuned.

Delegates are also expected to discuss how to deal with China's growing assertiveness and military buildup as concerns rise that it could try to seize Taiwan by force.
