Exclusive: Ursula von der Leyen says G7 global strategy has ‘no strings attached’ unlike China

The European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has told Euronews that plans discussed by G7 leaders to help the world's developing countries come "without strings attached", in comparison to China.

In an exclusive interview from the G7 summit in southwest England, she said the Group of Seven nations and China were "strong competitors" in the economic field and "systemic rivals" when it came to human rights and democracy.
