Global health, human rights and economic resilience after the Covid-19 pandemic will top agenda as G7 foreign and development ministers gather in Liverpool next month, Persecondnews.com gathered.

Representatives from the US, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Japan and the EU will attend, along with countries from the Association of South-East Asian Nations for the first time.
