France, which holds the presidency of the Group of Seven (G7), has announced it will host leaders from South Korea, India, Brazil, and Kenya at its annual summit in Évian-les-Bains. South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa, dismissed reports of a snub, stating that South Africa has not attended every G7 summit and that if they do not attend the June summit, it should be no surprise. The French Foreign Minister, Jean-Noel Barrot, stated that his country had opted for a "streamlined G7" and had chosen Kenya instead of the expected snub.
