Why it matters
The G7 coordinates closely on security, from support for Ukraine to sanctions and export controls. Foreign ministers’ meetings address conflicts and the safety of shipping lanes such as the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab.
For business, geopolitics now means compliance with sanctions and export controls, diversified supply chains, energy-security planning and higher insurance and shipping costs when trade routes are disrupted.
