The President of the European Council, António Costa, will travel to Kananaskis, Alberta (Canada) to take part in the G7 summit from 15 to 17 June 2025. Hosted by Canada as the rotating G7 presidency, the Summit will bring together the leaders of the seven G7 countries, as well as the European Union and other invited countries to discuss pressing global issues, including international peace and security, the global economic outlook and energy security.
The EU will be represented by President Costa and the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.
During the seven scheduled sessions, the summit will underline the leaders’ commitment to collective action in support of Ukraine, the global rules-based order and stronger economic security and resilience. The summit is also expected to address pressing global concerns including energy security and the protection of communities from climate-related disasters, cyber threats and foreign interference. Geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific, will also feature in the discussions.
