With the U.K. taking on the presidency of the G7 group in 2021, Prime Minister Boris Johnson hosted an in-person G7 summit from June 11 to 13 in Carbis Bay, a picturesque resort in Cornwall, the southwestern extremity of England. The objective was to unite leading democracies to help the world fight and then build back better from the coronavirus pandemic.
