Today, we are here in Paris for the G7 meeting.
Today, we already had good discussions on the international crisis and what more can we do together in order to prevent crisis from happening, but also de-escalation for different wars that we have or different tensions that we have building up.
It was important to exchange information also with the new Head of the World Food Programme. What he was telling us was that there should be real red lines like no weaponisation of food, no attacking of humanitarian workers, and also no famine. Of course, he was also raising that we have more attacks on humanitarian workers than we have had before, and that is all because of lack of accountability.
Therefore, it was also possible for us to make the point of the ICC being so important. If the countries are not taking up the war crimes, then it should be the ICC, and it was also important to make this point in the G7 format. As you know, we have disagreements with certain G7 members regarding the ICC.
Then, we had the discussion with our partners from elsewhere regarding Artificial Intelligence. There we all share the diagnosis that its innovation that makes the life easier. But it also brings a lot of challenges, and we really need to make sure that the international law also applies to the development of AI, but also the cyberspace. Because we have seen cyber-attacks across Europe, but also across the world that are, of course, part of the bigger grey zone tactics that our adversaries are using against us. So, clearly, we need to exchange information among ourselves, and we also need to fight back on this with the means that we have in our hands.
Tomorrow, we will discuss the Middle East and the war in Ukraine. So, I am also looking forward to those discussions because clearly, we need to do more together so that these wars will end.
