Heads of the world’s advanced democracies are coming together for three days from Friday in the western Japanese city for talks on international issues.

G7 countries attending the summit - the UK, Japan, Germany, the US, France, Canada, and Italy - are closely tied with China economically.
The summit is also expected to focus on Russia as Vladimir Putin continues his invasion of Ukraine.
Mr Biden is expected to have a sideline meeting with Quad nations - Australia, the United States, India and Japan - after postponing his post-G7 trip to Sydney because of debt ceiling negotiations in Washington.
