G7 No Longer Globally-Determining Force' Amid Emerging Multipolarity
While the old Western-centered formats are withering away, China hosting the Xian summit and expanding its international clout is "critically important", Mehran Kamrava, a professor of government at Georgetown University in Qatar, told Sputnik.
Friday saw the opening of two high-level regional gatherings: the China-Central Asian summit in Xian and the Arab League summit in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The events come as leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, the UK and the US gathered in Hiroshima for a G7 summit.
Even though the G7 remains an institution that enables its members to sit down and discuss coordinating policies, this "no longer means that they can dictate the health or well-being or direction of the global economy," Kamrava said.
