La Malbaie, 8/9 June 2018: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is hosting this year's G7 meeting
The French, British, Italian, Japanese, Canadian, American and German leaders come together for the informal forum. The EU is also represented at all meetings.
Several working sessions were dedicated to traditional topics including the global economy, trade, climate change mitigation, development cooperation and foreign policy.
The punitive tariffs on steel and aluminium imposed by President Donald Trump shortly before the summit overshadowed the two-day meeting.
Intensive discussions continued between the seven working sessions.
At the G7 summit, the Chancellor again called for free trade and multilateralism.
Germany, Canada, Japan, France, the UK and Italy agreed on a joint communique at the close of the G7 summit.
Also on the agenda: boosting economic growth, gender equality and empowering women, clean energy and healthy oceans
The leaders stand by their joint communique, although Donald Trump subsequently withdrew his support.
The outreach meeting thereafter focused on protecting our oceans, seas and coastal regions.
