In a statement on Monday, Britain said, it will host foreign and development ministers from the G7 and from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) at a summit in Liverpool from December 10 to December 12.

The summit will address issues including economic resilience post-COVID-19, global health and human rights, said Britain’s Foreign Office in a statement.

Among the ministers slated to attend are those from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, it said in a statement while adding, it was the first inclusion of ASEAN countries at a G7 foreign ministers’ summit and this reflected “the UK’s growing Indo-Pacific tilt”.

In 2021, Britain holds the rotating presidency of the G7; it has already hosted the COP climate summit in Glasgow earlier this month, as well as the G7 leaders’ summit in Carbis Bay in June.
