G7 Trade Ministers’ Meeting
(Villa San Giovanni – Reggio Calabria, 16-17 July 2024)
The G7 Trade Ministers’ Meeting will be held in Villa San Giovanni and Reggio Calabria on 16-17 July 2024. The meeting will be chaired by Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Antonio Tajani.
The main objective of the meeting is to address the tensions and frictions affecting global trade and sustainable and inclusive growth, and to protect freedom of navigation and commercial maritime traffic in the face of regional crises, from the Red Sea to the Indo-Pacific. To this end, the Italian G7 Presidency has identified four issues as the main challenges facing international trade: consolidation of the multilateral trading system through the reform of the World Trade Organisation (WTO); equal conditions in access to third markets; trade and environmental sustainability; resilience and economic security.
The event will also include the Port of Gioia Tauro, Italy’s number one port in terms of cargo traffic and number eight in Europe, which is also integral to the “Food for Gaza” initiative launched by Minister Tajani to alleviate the suffering of the civilian population in Gaza.
