Australia does not expect an invitation to Italy’s G7 meeting in June, Crikey can reveal.
Anthony Albanese was invited to last year’s G7 summit in Japan, an “important opportunity to advance Australia’s interests”, according to the prime minister.
Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has begun handing out invites to her selected guest nations. India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi thanked Meloni for his nod on Thursday, and leaders from the North African countries of Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt have reportedly been invited too. Argentinian President Javier Milei, described in the nation’s press as an “ideological ally” of the populist Meloni, has also been invited.
