G7 To Hold Foreign Ministers Call As Biden Meets w/Nat Sec Team 1000ET

SECURITY

Later today (time to be confirmed) G7 foreign ministers will hold an emergency video conference to discuss the situation in Afghanistan. The United Kingdom's Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab will chair the call with the UK holding the presidency of the G7 this year. The main topic of the meeting will be to prepare the ground for a G7 leaders videoconference next week on the subject.

  • Given that over a week will have passed between the fall of Kabul and the G7 leaders videoconference, there are notable questions about the role of the G7 on security issues as well as the diplomatic clout (or lack thereof) of UK PM Boris Johnson in influencing and coordinating international issues.
  • Also on the schedule for later today is a meeting between US President Joe Biden, Vice-President Kamala Harris and Biden's national security team. Meeting will take place behind closed doors in WH Situation Room at 1000ET (1500BST, 1600CET).
