In May 2023, Japan hosted the Hiroshima G7 Summit. It was an unprecedented summit given the ongoing war waged against Ukraine by Russia. As such, this summit also presented a key opportunity for liberal democracies to unite and maintain sanctions against Russia while supporting Ukraine. In response to the current geopolitical landscape, the need to maintain and strengthen the rules-based international order has been identified by the Japanese government as an important common issue. However, discontent might grow within the G7 countries as the war drags on, making it difficult for sanctions and support to continue. How will the G7 countries face these challenges? What kind of leadership should Japan provide?
