February 19, 2025 – Ottawa, Ontario – Global Affairs Canada

The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs, today provided additional details on the G7 Foreign Ministers’ meeting, after previously announcing that it would take place in Charlevoix, Quebec, from March 12 to 14, 2025.

As Canada holds the G7 presidency this year, it is honoured to welcome foreign ministers to address pressing global challenges together and strengthen international cooperation.

The G7 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting will include discussions on the ongoing support for Ukraine in the face of Russia’s aggression, the situation in the Middle East and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. The meeting will also address significant issues in the Americas, including the ongoing crises in Haiti and Venezuela, as well as peace and security challenges in Africa, particularly in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

G7 ministers will also address broader thematic issues which impact our security and global economic stability. As Indo-Pacific and Euro-Atlantic security issues are increasingly connected, Minister Joly and her counterparts will pursue effective G7 responses to disruptive actions that affect our common interests.
