　先進７カ国（Ｇ７）の議長国を務める英政府は２２日、来月１０～１２日に対面のＧ７外相会合を同国中部リバプールで開催すると発表した。会合には東南アジア諸国連合（ＡＳＥＡＮ）加盟国を招待する。政治、軍事両面で中国が影響力を強める「インド太平洋地域への英政府の傾斜」を示すためという。（2021/11/22-10:58）

An in-person meeting of foreign ministers from the Group of Seven major industrial countries will be held in Liverpool, northern England, on Dec. 10-12, the British government said Monday.
   Britain holds this year's presidency of the G-7 framework.
   Foreign ministers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations will be invited to the meeting, "a sign of the U.K.'s growing Indo-Pacific tilt," the British government said. In the region, China has been expanding its influence both politically and militarily.
   Participants are expected to discuss mainly the global economic recovery from the novel coronavirus crisis and human rights issues.
   The meeting will be held "to discuss how we build closer economic, technology and security ties globally," British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said in a statement.
