The G7 Communiqué is out. It covers a range of topics: trade, climate change, science and technology, artificial intelligence, anti-corruption, and so much more. This short thread 🧵 focuses mostly on the trade/tech/econ security themes.

On artificial intelligence, the G7 recognizes the possible benefits but clear drawbacks of #generative AI. They will thus establish the *Hiroshima AI process,* a G7 working group, in cooperation with the OECD and GPAI, for discussions on generative AI later this year.
The trade section offers unequivocal support for the WTO right off the bat, celebrating positive outcomes from MC12 (ie, fisheries) and anticipates progress in other areas like the #JSI ahead of MC13. Unclear where the Biden administration views its relationship evolving re: WTO.

A key reason for the growth of the passion #economy is that it offers alternative ways of making money, innovative paths toward professional fulfilment & unprecedented career opportunities, writes @utkarsh_amitabh or-f.org/103498

#Putin has clearly underestimated the resolve of the #Ukrainian leadership & citizens to fight back, while also receiving widespread criticism in the form of major sanctions from the broader European community and beyond: @AlicaKizekova or-f.org/103372
Julia De Clerck-Sachsse: Beyond #Europe’s immediate allies, support in defending the current order will be hard to come by. But convincing these countries is crucial if its geopolitical awakening is to translate into a more prominent geopolitical posture. orfonline.org/expert-speak/e…

#RaisinaEdit | If “Data is the New Oil” then our individual data has intrinsic value and, thus, the monetisation of the collective data of millions of our citizens is the proverbial gold mine, says Abdul Hakeem Ajijola: or-f.org/85352
Economic interdependence, imperatives of political geography, and Beijing’s successful elite capture in many societies have made it difficult for many in Asia to contest the unfolding Chinese dominance over the region, points out @MohanCRaja #RaisinaEdit: or-f.org/85281

Watch here:
1/9: The #UK government will soon publish its #IntegratedReview of defence, security, development & #ForeignPolicy. This is an important inflection point: we need a comprehensive, credible vision of the #GlobalBritain agenda after #Brexit. What to expect?.. a thread..
2/9: The #IntegratedReview will set principles to guide individual policies, advocating agile, global British reach in support of democratic values. Johnson’s strap-line is “#UK as a force for good”. But lofty principles will only be credible if hard, practical choices are made.
3/9: Much will be orthodox: supporting effective #multilateralism, rule of law, open #trade. I expect strong commitment to the #US relationship (whatever some say, #Biden is a godsend for Johnson) & lots about the fashionable but nebulous concept of an “#IndoPacific tilt”.
Over the years, #China’s relationship with the #EU has withstood profound changes in the world. It has focused on dialogue, cooperation and mutual benefit, and demonstrated strong vitality by progressing with the times. 🇨🇳🇪🇺
It is important to stay committed to peaceful coexistence, open cooperation, #multilateralism, and dialogue and consultation. #China and the #EU are comprehensive strategic partners, not systemic rivals.
In 2020, #China became the #EU's largest trading partner for the first time. The two sides signed the agreement on #GeographicalIndications, decided to establish high-level dialogue mechanisms on #environment & #climate and on digital cooperation, and concluded #BIT negotiations.
EU Council President Michel has invited US President-Elect @JoeBiden for a virtual summit with EU leaders soon after he takes office, to be followed by an in-person summit with EU and NATO in Brussels in the 1st half of 2021.
Tomorrow EU diplomats will discuss a paper on EU-US relations gong forward, distributed by President Michel on Friday.
This is in preparation for a discussion on the topic by EU prime ministers and presidents on 10 December.

1/8 Yesterday we held a seminar discussing how Maritime security could turn the tide against Cabo Delgado’s insurgents. A few lessons: #ISSMaritime
2/8 Maritime Terrorism is generally classified under 5 T’s: Tactical support, Target, Take, Traffic & Trade, Tax & Extort. Ansar al-Sunna meets all 5 of these criteria. Stable Seas report bit.ly/3mYCpyL
3/8 Al-Sunna is a formidable maritime threat which should not be misunderstood or underestimated. They have clearly demonstrated the ability to rapidly adapt and evolve in the sea and have high capability and the intent to use the sea for terror related purposes.
This @nyuCIC database on @UN senior appointments helps challenge one popular UN myth: That Chinese officials are taking over all the top jobs in #multilateralism. Let's take a look at the actual numbers 👇 [1/4]
It's worth saying up front that this @nyuCIC database counts senior @UN jobs in the secretariat, peace operations and UN political missions. It doesn't include specialised agencies like @FAO or @UNIDO, which are currently under Chinese management. Nonetheless... [2/4]
What jumps out is that @Chinamission2un has actually filled very few of the senior jobs counted by @nyuCIC: 10 since 1995 and 4 since 2015.
That's fewer than, say, Norway or Canada (the figures below are for 2015-2020) and tiny compared to the USA. [3/4]

NEW: "Our defense efforts, both w/#EU and @NATO have to be fully complimentary" German Parliamentary State Secretary @SilberhornMdB tells @AtlanticCouncil re: Germany's defense efforts w/its presidency of the Council of the European Union
"There is not unanimity in many matters on defense issues" within the EU, per @SilberhornMdB "There are different approaches among European Union countries"
"We should have the strength to focus on common interests" in #Balkans #NorthAfrica

Foreign Minister @HeikoMaas speaks during #UNGA74 at the General Assembly: “It is time to do more than just talk about sustainability. It is time to act sustainably – including in foreign and security policy.”

“A sustainable foreign policy is one that seeks lasting solutions to conflicts. One that involves all stakeholders. One that focuses on prevention & viable agreements. Sustainable foreign policy is multilateral foreign policy.” Foreign Minister @HeikoMaas at #UNGA74
“Far too often, crises and conflicts are not discussed in #UNSC until shots are being fired. The UNSC must move from being a crisis response body to being a crisis prevention body! It must also look at the causes of conflicts.” Foreign Minister @HeikoMaas

THREAD: #hina’s opening-up features constant evolution of economic thinking, with different ideas prevailing in different stages of development. Now the focus has shifted from “bringing in” to “going out,” said former #PBOC governor Zhou Xiaochuan in a recent speech: 1/7
As an integral part of China’s opening-up drive, financial opening shares some
similarities with the opening of other industries. But as a lifeblood
industry, it's sensitive by nature and will slow down when uncertainties
are on the rise. 2/7

In recent years, prevailing #protectionism, modern technological development & money market sanctions have caused distortions in global market system. This requires us to stop sticking rigidly to traditional thinking when analyzing all the current problems. 3/7
‚Never alone’: In the coming days, the more than 200 ambassadors and consuls general of the German missions abroad will meet in Berlin for the annual Ambassadors‘ conference and discuss the future of international cooperation. This year’s motto: shaping #multilateralism. #Boko19
"Never alone - our economy depends on free trade, our science needs exchange, our security is based on strong partnerships. Our influence in the world stands and falls with the unity of Europe"-@HeikoMaas at the opening of the annual Ambassadors' conference. #Boko19 #EuropeUnited
Whether in Mali, Sudan or in the rescue of the Brazilian rainforest: "There can't be a reasonable alternative to #multilateralism for us", says @HeikoMaas at #Boko19. "Multilateralism means international responsibility" #MultilateralismMatters
While we wait for #HELSINKI2018 to finish, here's a couple of remarks inspired by the #TrumpPutin meeting.
1. Finland is not a neutral country. We chose our side when we joined European Union in 1995. Finland chose to be on the side of #humanrights, #democracy, #ruleoflaw and multilateral world order. Finnish foreign policy is based on promoting and defending these values.
2. Women's rights are human rights. We believe the world would be a better place for everyone if #WomensRights and girls' rights would be recognised and respected all around the world.
