The G7 Summit took place from August 24 to 26 in Biarritz, France on the theme of "the fight against inequality." Prime Minister and LDP President Shinzo Abe led a broad range of discussions on the global economy, free trade, international relations, and security. In a debate that was sometimes contentious, he played a crucial role in producing a declaration focusing on WTO reform and regional stabilization as key pillars.
