“We nations that share important values have a position of responsibility amid growing uncertainties,” she said in closing the meeting, stressing democracy, inclusiveness and human rights.The G-7 includes the U.S., Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Britain. The European Union, Australia, Chile, India, Indonesia and Kenya were invited to take part in the two-day meeting, as were economic organizations such as the World Trade Organization.

As the host nation, Japan focused on how China has banned imports of Japanese seafood after the recent massive release of treated waste water from the Fukushima nuclear plant, which experienced reactor meltdowns in 2011.
