LA MALBAIE, Que. — Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says G7 leaders have “strong unity” on defending Ukraine and would back a ceasefire proposal supported by Ukrainians.
Joly spoke to media this morning after meeting with her counterparts from the U.S., Europe and Japan.
She has been hosting the Group of Seven foreign ministers’ meeting in the Charlevoix region, northeast of Quebec City.
She says the ball is now “in Russia’s court” and the G7 is now “studying” Russia’s reaction to the U.S. ceasefire proposal.
The minister says the leaders are on track to release a strong collective statement.
Other G7 leaders are also set to address media later today, including German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.

LA MALBAIE, Que. — Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly is set to address media this morning after gathering her counterparts from the U.S., Europe and Japan.
She has been hosting the Group of Seven foreign ministers’ meeting in the Charlevoix region, northeast of Quebec City.
Joly had pledged to raise U.S. tariffs with her American and European counterparts, but publicly has instead focused on matters for collaboration between partners.
Her office says she discussed “the impact of tariffs” with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in their one-on-one meeting Thursday, but has not specified how the talks went.
It’s possible Joly could leave the meeting she is hosting shortly after her remarks, in order to attend the swearing-in of Liberal Leader Mark Carney as prime minister and her renewal as foreign minister.
Other leaders are also set to address media, including German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.
