UK chancellor reiterates need for ‘swift solution’ in Middle East at G7 meeting
British chancellor Rachel Reeves said she reiterated the need for “a swift solution” in the Middle East at a virtual meeting of G7 finance and energy ministers and central bank governors.
Ms Reeves, Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey and Energy Secretary Ed Miliband were all present in the meeting.
After the call, the Chancellor wrote on X: “At today’s G7 talks with Bank of England (governor) Andrew Bailey and Ed Miliband, I reiterated the need for a swift resolution in the Middle East.
“This is not our war and we won’t be drawn into it, but its economic impacts are global – we must work with partners to strengthen resilience.”
The G7, which includes the UK, the US, Germany, France, Italy, Canada and Japan, along with the European Union, were considering ways to respond to the economic hit from the war.
