Canada will host the G7 summit next year in the heart of the Rocky Mountains.
The announcement comes as this year’s leaders’ meeting continues in Apulia, Italy.
The member countries — Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy and Japan — rotate hosting duties each year.
Next year’s meeting is set to be held in Kananaskis, west of Calgary.
That’s where the G8 summit was held in 2002 — back when it was a group of eight, with Russia as a member.
This year’s summit is taking place under the shadow of ongoing wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.
