G7 supports hosting of Olympics this summer: Japanese PM
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said that all Group of Seven leaders expressed their support for Japan’s plan to hold the Tokyo Olympics this summer.
Mr. Suga made the comment to reporters after a virtual G7 meeting held on Friday.
He told the summit meeting that he was resolved to hold the Games, originally scheduled for 2020, but was postponed for a year due to the coronavirus pandemic, as testimony that human beings will have overcome the virus, a government official said.
The Group of Seven is an intergovernmental organization comprising Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States.
The heads of government of the member states, as well as the representatives of the European Union, meet at the annual G7 Summit.
