Cornwall has been confirmed by the Prime Minister as the location for the upcoming G7 Summit.
The G7 is one of the highest profile summits in the international calendar, bringing some of the world’s most powerful leaders together.
As the presidency holder, the UK will direct the agenda for the G7 in 2021, choosing to focus on issues that matter and will help the UK and the world build back better from coronavirus.
The G7 has an opportunity to lead the global recovery from coronavirus: protecting peoples’ health, creating quality jobs and tackling climate change.
Commenting, St Austell and Newquay’s Member of Parliament Steve Double said:
“This is fantastic news and a huge opportunity for Cornwall on the world stage.”
“This is likely to be the first global in-person event of this kind since the pandemic and I am very grateful to the Prime Minister for choosing to host this event in our Duchy, which shows we are very much at the heart of the government’s plans.”
“It will really put Cornwall front and centre at a pivotal moment in the world’s history.”
“It will be an incredible opportunity to showcase all Cornwall has to offer the world, not only our stunning natural beauty, but also our unique heritage and culture, our world class food and drink and our world leading creativity and innovation.”
“A real opportunity and a big boost for our economy at the time we need it most.”
“Putting our motto ‘one and all’ on the global stage to shine.”
