Japan wants Zelensky to participate in the G7 summit
Japan plans to invite Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to participate in the online format at the G7 summit to be held in Hiroshima on May 19-21.

Qazet.az reports with reference to Nikkei that Japan, which is currently the chairman of the G7, wants to create conditions for intensive discussions on the Ukraine conflict. Tokyo believes that Zelensky's speech will familiarize the G7 leaders with the current situation.

For the Japanese government, coordinating the actions of the G7 regarding the situation in Ukraine is an important step in preparing for a possible conflict over Taiwan.

Japan believes that in a military scenario, it will be directly involved in the conflict in Taiwan, so Tokyo is hoping that, together with the United States and Europe, China will respond promptly and harshly.
