“We, the Leaders of the G7, reaffirm our commitment to accelerate the fight against cancer. Partner countries of the G7, Brazil, Egypt, India, Kenya, and the Republic of Korea, also support this call on the fight against cancer.
Cancer kills nearly 10 million people each year worldwide and new cases are projected to increase by 80 per cent globally by 2050, given the aging of the population and its interactions with environmental and behavioural risk factors, placing an ever-greater burden on societies, health systems and economies. Improvements in access to cancer prevention - including through screening, diagnosis and care - can and should be made. While major scientific advances have been achieved in several critical areas, progress should be accelerated by alignment of research efforts and faster translation of innovation into care. In this regard, we welcome that such advances have brought the elimination of cervical cancer within reach and we will accelerate our efforts to that end.
We are determined to deepen international scientific cooperation, close persistent gaps in prevention and early detection, and ensure that progress in oncology reaches every patient. While acknowledging our existing financing efforts and the shared global responsibility, where we have taken a leadership role, we commit to strengthening our endeavours to advance cancer research and development.
We commend the scientific advances made through international, regional and national initiatives. We have made concrete progress on aligning our cancer research programmes, strengthening collaboration between leading cancer institutes and advancing interoperable data standards for paediatric and adolescent cancers.
Accelerating international data access for paediatric, adolescent and young adult cancers
We recognise that no single country possesses sufficient data to generate robust evidence across the full range of paediatric, adolescent and young adult tumour types. Building on existing international, regional and national initiatives - in accordance with our legislation, priorities, capacities and resources, and in compliance with applicable rules on privacy, data protection and intellectual property rights - we intend to work towards:
- Promoting collaboration between existing data resources and programmes, where appropriate, to bridge national registries, advance interoperability standards and enable responsible cross-border data collaboration, in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory frameworks while respecting national competences.
- Supporting large-scale, multi-dimensional data integration, including clinical, genomic and imaging data, which enables safe and secure data use without the necessity for direct data transfer, drawing on artificial intelligence, where appropriate and according to legal regulatory frameworks.
- Building on existing international, regional and national initiatives to avoid duplication, close gaps and strengthen international research collaboration for paediatric, adolescent and young adult cancers.
Intensifying our fight against cancers with poor prognosis
We recognise that mortality from cancers with poor prognosis is one of the foremost global scientific challenges. Building on existing international, regional and national initiatives, we intend to work towards:
- Supporting research on cancers with poor prognosis and the work towards establishing a shared international definition and research agenda for cancers with poor prognosis, recognising them as a major global challenge.
- Setting ambitious targets for the roll out of screening programmes and for the diagnosis of more cancers at stage 1, as appropriate within national health systems and country contexts, to improve survival rates for cancers with poor prognosis, and in particular to significantly reduce lung cancer mortality in the next ten years.
- Fostering innovative international research programmes, improving cooperation on clinical trials and accelerating the translation of scientific advances - including through digital technologies, artificial intelligence and quantum research - into clinical practice for patients.
Strengthening access to quality cancer care for all
We recognize that access to quality cancer care for all remains a pressing challenge. We intend to work towards:
- Supporting country-led efforts to strengthen resilient and self-reliant health systems capable of delivering high-quality cancer care for all.
- Encouraging the development of comprehensive cancer centres, as anchors of research excellence, care quality and education internationally.
- Promoting the secure, responsible and trustworthy use of evidence-based digital technologies, artificial intelligence and quantum research to improve early detection, support clinical decision-making, strengthen palliative care and expand the reach of evidence-based care for all, while preserving patients’ privacy.
We will remain engaged and review progress on these commitments.
This call for action reflects the outcome of the discussion between G7 members, benefiting from productive exchanges of views with partner countries.”

Ukraine
“We, the Leaders of the G7, stand united in our unwavering support for Ukraine in defending its freedom, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. We reaffirm our solidarity with the Ukrainian population suffering from attacks on their critical infrastructure and cultural heritage. We commend Ukraine for its resilience and progress on the battlefield in recent months and emphasise there is now a new momentum.
To support and accelerate this new momentum, we agree to increase the delivery of air defence capacities, additional systems and interceptors, and long-range capabilities. We are also ready to consider extending to Ukraine the benefit of licenses to allow for an increase in Ukraine’s military production.
We stress the importance of energy resilience, on the basis of the needs and priorities expressed by Ukrainian authorities. We agree to provide further support to get the country through next winter.
We commit to increase the pressure on the Russian war economy. In this context, we will strengthen our sanctions on the oil and gas sectors. We consider this the right moment to proceed with additional measures, as President Trump has delivered a deal that we support in reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
Middle East
We recognise the breakthrough and the opportunity that currently exist in the Middle East.
We welcome the announcement of a deal between the United States and Iran, secured under the strong leadership of President Trump, with the support of mediating countries, which provides an historic opportunity to prevent Iran from acquiring any nuclear weapon and tackling the threats related to its regional and ballistic activities. We support and are ready to contribute to its implementation.
We reaffirm that the right of transit passage without restrictions or tolls is the bedrock of international trade. We agree that the multinational, independent, and defensive initiative led by France and the UK can play an important role to facilitate the resumption of maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz by protecting merchant vessels, reassuring commercial shipping operators, and supporting verification that all mines are removed.
We strongly support a robust and comprehensive diplomatic follow-on agreement to the Memorandum of Understanding secured by President Trump that can bring peace and security for all in the region. We underline the need for the negotiation to this end to address the threats posed by Iran in the region and beyond and ensure that they never obtain a nuclear weapon. We agree that such a negotiation would benefit from the contributions from relevant regional and international partners, including the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). We reaffirm that Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon.
In Lebanon, we support, through an immediate robust ceasefire, the Lebanese leadership’s efforts to achieve the disarmament of Hezbollah and the monopoly of arms, and to protect Lebanon’s territorial integrity and sovereignty with the appropriate international security guarantees.
In Gaza, we will accelerate humanitarian and reconstruction efforts and the swift implementation of relevant political and security measures. We call for ending violence in the West Bank.
We commit to accelerate the diversification of energy supply routes in order to reduce global vulnerability to the Strait of Hormuz and to increase our energy stocks. We welcome the potential for Canada to deliver significant additional capacity to global markets in the coming years.
Indo-Pacific
We highlight the importance of a free and open Indo-Pacific based on the rule of law. We reaffirm our opposition to any unilateral attempts to change the status quo, in particular by force or coercion, in the East and South China Seas and across the Taiwan Strait, which should only be resolved peacefully through dialogue.
We express deep concern about North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs and reaffirm our commitment to the complete denuclearization of North Korea in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions. We urge North Korea to resolve the abductions issue immediately. We reiterate the need to jointly address North Korea’s cryptocurrency thefts and cybercrimes.
We welcome the Global Convergence for Growth Summit convened by President Macron on June 11th 2026, with the participation of China. We reaffirm our common interest in converging with other large economies on the causes of large and persistent global imbalances and on the need to address them. We will continue these efforts within the G20 under the United States’ host year and in other relevant fora.”

“We, the Leaders of the G7, are committed to intensifying our fight against drug trafficking. Partner countries of the G7, Brazil and the Republic of Korea, also support this declaration. Global drug trafficking has expanded significantly in recent years, driven by record levels of production, the adaptability of organised crime groups and the rise of global demand. It constitutes a major and increasing threat to national security fuelling corruption and violence.
We recognise that tackling this transnational organised crime is fundamental for safeguarding our societies, the health of our population, our economic prosperity and for global security. These sophisticated illegal networks recognise no borders. They exploit international vulnerabilities – siphoning vital resources from our economies and weakening the democratic institutions upon which our free societies depend. International cooperation is key to support national efforts to address this threat.
We reaffirm our determination to have joint and ambitious solutions to disrupt drug trafficking networks, with an evidence-based whole-of-government approach that includes the reduction of drug supply and demand, consistently with our shared values, norms and standards. We are committed to scaling up coordinated actions to prevent, investigate and prosecute all organised criminal groups, strengthening the resilience of our systems, in a comprehensive approach. In that regard, we emphasise the continued need to strengthen the global anti-money laundering architecture to prevent financial crime and improve enforcement and asset recovery outcomes, in line with the Financial Action Task Force standards.
We are committed to take action to:
Strengthen maritime and port security to combat drug trafficking
We recognise that maritime transport is the primary vector for global drug and precursor chemicals trafficking. Building on the progress achieved during the Canadian presidency, we commit to strengthen our efforts to intensify our maritime cooperation in order to intercept more shipments of illicit drugs and to further strengthen the resilience of maritime ports and the whole global supply chains against drug trafficking and precursor flows.
To that end, we will create a G7+ Ports Network to Combat Drug Trafficking to reinforce cooperation between G7 members and their partners’ main maritime ports in coordination with the European Ports Alliance, the European Coalition Against Drugs and similar initiatives. This G7+ initiative will aim to better coordinate, share information and implement good practices, including through possible joint field visits to port authorities and law enforcement agencies, building on international regulations, such as the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code of the International Maritime Organization and G7 initiatives. To this end, we will set up an Inventory of G7 initiatives. To this end, we will set up an Inventory of G7 Initiatives and Best Practices to Counter Drug and Precursor Chemical Trafficking in Ports.
We task our relevant Ministers to implement the Network by November 2026 and to further strengthen the security of our ports against drug and precursor chemical trafficking, with a particular focus on broadening cooperation with the private sector and enhancing port and shipping security standards.
Counter the infiltration of legitimate public and private institutions by criminal networks
The infiltration of legitimate public and private institutions by criminal networks to facilitate international drug trafficking poses a real threat to our societies. It is becoming a central component of the economic model often employed by transnational organised crime groups.
We are committed to decisively counter any attempt by criminal networks to infiltrate legitimate public and private institutions. We task our relevant Ministers to develop, by November 2026, a comprehensive G7 Action Plan against the infiltration of legitimate public and private institutions by drug trafficking networks and organised criminal groups.
Support international and regional partners to combat drug production and transportation
We commit to working together with international and regional partners to strengthen our collective approach to tackling drug use, production and trafficking. This includes working with partners to establish or strengthen national drug observatories, or similar entities, and early warning systems on drugs consumption and trafficking, contributing to preparedness and evidence-based responses.
Recognising that we must counter the production and the transportation of drugs, we welcome the organisation of the Regional Security Conference in the Caribbean in Martinique. We encourage participants to take concrete and ambitious enforcement actions to disrupt and dismantle drug trafficking and arms trafficking networks.
We will support relevant multilateral agencies and processes to further enhance global counternarcotics, including Interpol, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the International Narcotics Control Board, the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs and the European Coalition Against Drugs.
Enhance policy measures for reducing the demand and minimizing the consequences of drug use on our communities
We will spare no effort to reduce demand and minimise the adverse public health and social consequences of drug use. We will do so by adopting a comprehensive approach that includes awareness-raising and health measures for prevention, treatment, risk reduction and recovery. We will enhance awareness-raising and knowledge-sharing on emerging drug threats, support effective law enforcement and public health responses, and strengthen national drug observatories, or similar entities, and early warning mechanisms on new substances and consumption patterns, with a particular focus on those especially exposed.
Tackle other forms of transnational organised crime and illicit financial flows associated with drug trafficking
We recognise that drug trafficking networks perpetrate and prosper from other forms of cross-border organised crime – including human trafficking – as well as fraud, corruption, money laundering, terrorist financing and related illicit financial flows. These criminal networks also often thrive from crimes that affect the environment, including illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing.
We commit to disrupt the economic infrastructure enabling these illegal activities by strengthening financial investigations to trace, freeze, seize and confiscate associated proceeds and assets, including virtual assets. The follow-the-money approach must be systematically applied, supported by robust and secured information exchange between our respective law enforcement, judicial authorities and financial intelligence units. We will strengthen our collective actions to curb illicit finance, in line with the G7 Financial Crime Call to Action.
This declaration reflects the outcome of the discussion between G7 members, benefiting from productive exchanges of views with partner countries.”

“We, the leaders of the G7, recalling the Critical Minerals Action Plan we launched last year, recognise the strategic role of critical minerals value chains for our countries’ economic prosperity and security, including our digital and energy sectors. In light of the high degree of market concentration, the need to reduce vulnerabilities regarding those resources and the growing use of arbitrary trade restrictions, we recall the urgency of diversifying our supply chains and building our collective resilience. Australia, partner country of the G7, also supports this declaration.
We express our grave concerns regarding the use of non-market policies and practices and economic coercion, including arbitrary export restrictions and retaliatory measures on critical minerals and their related dual-use items, all of which undermine economic security and resilience. We will work together with partners to reduce critical dependencies and ensure that attempts or threats to weaponize economic dependencies fail. We seek to deter and stand ready to take actions, where necessary in a coordinated manner, against economic coercion.
We further recognise the importance of maintaining and strengthening our midstream and downstream industries’ competitiveness, including in relation to critical minerals, by protecting critical technologies and commit to working within the G7 and with partners to coordinate on policy measures for technology control.
We recognise the pivotal role of international cooperation among G7 and like-minded countries, pursuing mutually beneficial partnerships based on high-quality standards and transparency to ensure diversified, resilient and durable supply chains to the benefit of the global economy. To that end, we reaffirm the G7 Roadmap to Promote Standards-based Markets for Critical Minerals.
Building on previous commitments of the G7 and on the Critical Minerals Production Alliance set up under the Canadian presidency of the G7 in 2025, we commit to coordinating efforts within the G7 and with partner countries to establish and develop the necessary processing and industrial capacities for diversification of our critical minerals value chains, including by supporting local value creation and promoting innovation.
To this end, we, together with partner countries, will cooperate closely to advance production, processing and recycling projects across the entire supply chain. We will promote the development of coordinated projects through demand aggregation and the mobilisation of public and private collective financial capacities. In so doing, we aim to significantly reduce our dependencies on a single supplier outside the G7 and partner countries for rare earths and permanent magnets to under 60 per cent by 2030 and continuing to decrease further over time, with an ambition to reach 50 per cent as soon as possible. For other critical minerals, we task the relevant ministers with setting a specific target for reducing these dependencies before the end of the year.
We welcome the progress towards these goals, especially through the 195 projects announced since the beginning of 2026 that have reached 64 billion euros of investment including equity participation and offtake agreements in the critical minerals value chains from G7 and partner countries, and through the joint plan for developing industrial capacities for rare earth and permanent magnets.
We recognise that the development of industrial capacity, including processing and recycling, necessary for diversification, requires the mobilisation of public and private capital, including equity investments, guarantees and offtakes. We recognise the increasing need for stable investment frameworks and for market transparency and valuation for the security of supply. This could incentivise financing of the critical minerals value chains to bridge the investment gap before 2030.
We encourage accelerating the mobilisation of multilateral development banks (MDBs) and development partners to design and implement strategies that lift global mining standards between G7 members and like-minded partners as well as in developing countries. These efforts will enhance the diversification, resilience, security and reliability of critical minerals supply chains worldwide, including through quality-based procurement approaches and sustainable mining practices. They exemplify our renewed approach to international partnerships. To ensure greater impact, we task the G7 Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) and export credit agencies to enhance coordination and collaboration on critical minerals and enabling infrastructures, including with the private sector.
We further recognise that ensuring the long-term viability of diversified supply capacities requires an appropriate market environment and closer cooperation with trusted partners, including through plurilateral trade agreements.
In this regard, we intend to continue to discuss the feasibility and development of policies and mechanisms that would be necessary to ensure supply chain resilience and diversification, in a coordinated manner where relevant. These policies and mechanisms may include, as appropriate, resilience criteria, standards-based approaches, transparency and traceability mechanisms. We also continue to explore demand and supply-side measures such as diversification requirements, revenue stabilisation mechanisms including price-gap subsidies, joint procurement instruments and trade-related instruments such as quotas and price floors. These measures should take into account factors such as their effectiveness and potential impacts on competitiveness, public finances, macroeconomic conditions overall and in particular on midstream and downstream industries, as well as the costs of inaction.
We recognise the importance of strong transparency and traceability frameworks to ensure supply chain security and the compliance with high standards in resilient market environments, as well as tackling illegal trafficking of critical minerals. Acknowledging ongoing work by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and International Energy Agency (IEA), we are committed to working towards establishing harmonised, interoperable mechanisms aligned with our interests that ensure traceability and transparency regarding the origin of critical minerals. This would start with two pilot critical minerals – lithium and nickel – and aim to avoid undermining competitiveness or imposing excessive cost burdens. We will seek to extend the pilot to five new critical minerals each year with particular attention given to rare earths.
We will work towards improved knowledge transparency of global raw material markets and supply chains, including through the development, voluntary and confidential exchange and publication of shared analytical tools, market indicators and better visibility on prices, supply, demand and processing capacities. We recognise the indispensable role of data underpinning this work. To reach those goals, we commit to working together through the platform below, that marshals existing work and capabilities in the OECD and the IEA Critical Minerals Security Program including in a structured dialogue with businesses.
We will seek to promote a level playing field in the extraction of critical minerals by aligning practices with internationally recognised labour standards and encouraging coordinated action to address systemic risks of forced labour, in accordance with the “G7 Toolkit for Standards-Based Criteria to Identify Risks of Forced Labour in the Extraction of Critical Minerals”, adopted in June 2026.
We acknowledge the essential role that stockpiling can play in improving the security of supply and stability of the market. We commit to developing and increasing domestic capacities or stockpiling critical minerals in the industrial or the public sector, where appropriate for our respective economies, trade and national and collective security including through existing initiatives. We concur to exchange information on stockpiling systems, best practices and methodologies and procurement and release mechanisms, particularly through the IEA Critical Minerals Security Program and by drawing on the expertise of relevant institutions and initiatives such as Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC). We intend to leverage stockpiling mechanisms to support the diversification of critical minerals supply chains, including in partner and emerging economies.
To facilitate supply crisis anticipation and management and to prevent price instability, we commit to establish a joint cooperation mechanism with the help of the IEA and its data environment. This mechanism would allow us to share, when necessary, with G7 members and like-minded countries data and alerts on future market stress or disruption in supply or demand.
Convinced that the circular economy and substitution are key to addressing the growing demand of critical minerals and to securing the supply of critical minerals, while contributing to mitigate environmental impacts, we recognise the importance of promoting efficient design, reuse, repair and remanufacturing of products and components rich in critical minerals. We will make efforts to advance the recycling of critical minerals by supporting both the supply of and demand for recycled critical minerals and establish efficient and competitive secondary raw materials markets, through economic and regulatory incentives such as recycled content requirements.
Furthermore, we promote recovery from alternative and secondary sources, such as mine waste and tailings reprocessing, for residual critical minerals and associated by-product elements, while recognising the benefits of trade in recyclable materials amongst trusted partners and of technological innovations to reinforce recycling. We call on continued collaboration on innovation through the Conference on Critical Minerals and Materials. We seek to increase and enhance the collection and recycling capacity of the G7 to avoid the leakage of valuable and end-of-life products containing critical raw materials and to better combat the illegal transfer of waste rich in critical minerals by improving its traceability and enforcement of relevant laws and international frameworks. We recognise digital traceability and extended producer responsibility schemes for manufactured products are effective tools for helping to achieve these objectives of developing a circular economy for critical minerals. We also recognise the opportunity for emerging market and developing economies to benefit from capturing added value through the recycling and secondary processing of their mining waste, as well as from circular economy innovations.
We aim to sharply increase the recycling rates for critical raw materials with the commitment to monitor and assess progress. We will work towards recycling targets by the end of the year for selected critical minerals or their derivatives. Our aim is to increase our collective recycling capacity capable of producing a significant share of the annual consumption of G7 members by the end of 2030.
To achieve these objectives and ensure long-term coordination of our efforts, we establish a non-binding G7 Critical Minerals Resilience and Production Alliance, whose terms are annexed to this declaration. This initiative builds on the existing Critical Minerals Production Alliance and will be open to like-minded partners subject to the approval of participating countries. The Alliance provides a comprehensive platform for cooperation within the G7 and partner countries to strengthen the diversification and resilience of critical minerals value chains and streamline existing initiatives on critical raw materials.
To support the implementation of the Critical Minerals Resilience and Production Alliance, a G7 platform for Critical Minerals Cooperation, operating under the G7 and other platform members, will facilitate discussion, support data-driven decision-making and foster coordination among members. The platform will consult, as it deems appropriate, the IEA Critical Mineral Security Program and OECD, to provide analytical and data-driven assessments of market developments and supply chain vulnerabilities, facilitate information-sharing on stockpiles, conduct emergency exercises and monitor progress in financing, diversification and transparency commitments. We call on the IEA and the OECD to provide data, in line with their expertise, allowing members to identify and receive early warnings of market distortions and plan for coordinated responses.
This declaration reflects the outcome of the discussion between G7 members, benefiting from productive exchanges of views with.”
