The meeting of officials from the Group of Seven and the so-called Global South is part of a round of talks preparing the ground for a high-level summit that Switzerland is due to host in June. Some of those meetings have included dozens of other nations from the Gulf, the Group of 20 and the BRICS, an organization that includes Brazil and India. A smaller gathering took place last December.
