Cornwall, 11 June 2021 – It is a new, sincere climate of decisive hope that reigns in the G7 on the Cornish coast. Boris Johnson disheveled as always gracefully does the honors at the first post Brexit and post Covid summit. There is intesa fra i leader of the 7 major world economic powers. From Joe Biden a Mario Dragheveryone wants “a sustainable growth of the West for all.” Everyone understands that only together will they be stronger to counter the power of Beijing and the aggression of Moscow with the revival of a new Atlantic Pact and an economic axis between the US and the EU extended to cyber defense and to the defense of the very democracy of systems.
“We have to rebuild immediately in a way sustainable, green, transparent and with greater fairness, ”says Johnson. “Diplomacy is back – tweeted President Biden – America and the European Union are ready for one new alliance on trade and digital to counter the rise of China and promote democratic values ”.
The claims irritate Beijing and the Chinese super minister of foreign affairs Jiechi urgently calls US Secretary of State Blinken at the top accusing the US of provocation and a “pseudo multilateralism supported by small circles”. China indignantly rejects the hypothesis of a new investigation by the World Health Organization onorigin of Covid and the idea that he escaped from the laboratories of Wuhan: Jiechi invites the US not to pull too hard even with the “povocations on Taiwan” and relaunches asking both the US and Moscow for an immediate reduction of nuclear weapons globally.
Many see in these declarations the premises for a US and EU challenge to the Chinese silk road. It will be there G20 in October which will be held in Italy, however, to fully establish whether these plans can be implemented or whether the relationship with Beijing in many European countries will be loaded with many nuances that are not always compatible with each other. However, the offer of one billion doses of vaccines to be given selectively to the rest of the less developed world is a tangible gift for the rewriting of future geopolitical relations and to open new corridors in Africa or Asia which until now remained a monopoly of Beijing or Moscow.
The password that will come out today in final document of the G7 is “investing in the weakest and beating the pandemic in one greener society“And be it Charles Michel, president of the European Council, who Ursula Von der Leyen guiding the commission have already anticipated that they will do bank with the USA in a newfound collaboration agreement.
With a certain chivalry, the host Johnson introduced Mario Draghi to his G7 debut by remembering him as the savior of the Euro with the famous phrase “we will do whatever it takes” and the Italian premier began by saying: “It’s a good time, we expect a strong peak of growth and this shows that the policies implemented during the pandemic were correct ”.
But at the end of the first intense day of work with a Biden very focused on establishing relationships to sanction “the return of America” and archive Trump, the scene was completely dominated by the arrival of the Queen Elizabeth on her first exit from the state after the death of her husband. At 95 she seduced everyone with her own silent charisma offering Prime Minister Johnson the ancient prestige that England seemed to have abandoned by preferring Brexit autonomy to a leadership role in Europe.
