G7 foreign ministers will travel to Liverpool for summit – The National

Britain will host a summit of foreign and development ministers from the G7 countries in Liverpool next month.

UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss says she hopes the event, from December 10 to 12, will build a “worldwide network of liberty that advances freedom, democracy and enterprise”.

Representatives from the US, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Japan and the EU will attend, along with countries from the Association of South-East Asian Nations for the first time, which the Foreign Office said was a sign of the UK’s growing Indo-Pacific tilt.
