G7's Africa Influence Bid
The G7 foreign ministers concluded a two-day meeting in Paris on Tuesday, where they discussed crises in Sudan, the Horn of Africa, Ukraine and the Middle East in an effort to coordinate their response, but issued no joint statement. Among their priorities were improving humanitarian supplies and food security, after an international report found that funding for emergency food and agricultural aid and nutrition had fallen by about 59% between 2022 and 2025. France also launched a network of 14 ports to strengthen information-sharing and combat drug smuggling. It said that 70% of the drugs reaching France pass through its ports. One report estimated that about 30% of the cocaine reaching Europe in 2025 had passed through West Africa. France invited Egypt, Brazil, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Ukraine to the meeting, amid calls from African countries for relations with the G7 to be based on equal footing rather than aid.
