Moon is expected to have discussions on how to address such global challenges as a health crisis, climate change, and trade disputes at the international event.

Moon said the G-7's invitation for South Korea to its annual summit reflects the rise of its international status to a level on par with G-7 countries.

According to Cheong Wa Dae officials, there is no formal bilateral meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga. However, they did not rule out the possibility of the two having informal talks.
