G7: Ukrainian President Zelensky arrives in Hiroshima
Hiroshima: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Hiroshima on Saturday to attend the G7 summit.
This is his first trip to Asia since Russia's invasion began in February last year.
The plane carrying Zelenskyy arrived in Hiroshima on Saturday afternoon. Japan's government said the Ukrainian President will join G7 leaders at two sessions on Sunday -- one dealing directly with the war in Ukraine, the other an outreach session on global peace and stability that will include non-G7 leaders.
Japan. G7. Important meetings with partners and friends of Ukraine. Security and enhanced cooperation for our victory. Peace will become closer today.
— Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) May 20, 2023
After he arrived, he posted a message on social media, saying "Japan. G7. Important meetings with partners and friends of Ukraine." He added, "Security and enhanced cooperation for our victory. Peace will become closer today."
He is also expected to hold a one-on-one meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio.
