T7 Canada Communiqué

May 5, 2025

The world in 2025 stands at a critical juncture. Geopolitical fragmentation, systemic economic shocks and accelerating technological change are reshaping the contours of the international order. While the values underpinning the postwar multilateral system — democracy, open markets, human rights and the rule of law — remain foundational, their global reach and efficacy face a real threat of erosion from multiple directions. In this context, Canada should approach its G7 leadership earnestly, but also pragmatically, seeking to advance common interests in an era of high interdependence, and to reinforce common purpose and the imperative of international cooperation. The T7 Canada Communiqué outlines a set of policy recommendations for Canada’s G7 Presidency, informed by the work of the four task forces and prepared by the task force chairs and co-chairs.
