Update from June 28, 9.30 a.m

.: The police are currently preparing several roadblocks around Schloss Elmau, for example on the protocol route in the Garmisch area or at the roundabout on the B2.

Police confirmed the closure at 9:45 a.m.

The background may be an early departure by US President Joe Biden, who will apparently leave the conference venue earlier than planned.

Bidens was supposed to be the first G7 participant to leave Elmau as planned.

His departure was actually only planned for 12 o'clock.

According to information from our editorial team, it was still unclear in the morning how the US President would leave Bavaria.

The authorities are therefore preparing for possible road closures at the moment.

The police cordoned off the protocol route.

Update from June 27, 10:40 a.m .:

Elmau/Garmisch-Partenkirchen - The first day of the G7 summit in Elmau was marked by symbolic images and the announcement of a package worth billions for developing countries.

On the second day of the summit on Monday, the Ukraine war is on the G7 agenda.

The summit participants from Germany, France, Italy, Great Britain, USA, Canada and Japan gathered on Sunday in front of the Upper Bavarian Alps.

G7 summit in Elmau: package worth billions as an alternative to China

The heads of state and government around Chancellor Olaf Scholz and US President Joe Biden had previously announced a billion-euro package for developing countries.

An investment program is intended to counteract China's influence.

The initiative, which was largely initiated by the USA, is intended to “enable high-quality and sustainable infrastructure”.

In total, it is about 600 billion dollars (568 billion euros).

The envisaged sum is not government aid payments.

Rather, with the support of governments, primarily private capital should be mobilized.

So you are dependent on the gusto of private entrepreneurs.

The aim is to make poorer countries in Asia and Africa, which want to build ports, roads and bridges for their development, less dependent on Chinese investments.

A targeted provocation by Vladimir Putin?

"One has to assume that Putin is flexing his muscles here," said EPP boss Manfred Weber (CSU) on the sidelines of the summit on ARD.

Volodymyr Zelenskyj will also be there on the second day of the summit.

However, the Ukrainian President will only take part virtually in the deliberations in Bavaria.

The topics of climate, energy and health will also be discussed on Monday.

The heads of state and government of Indonesia, South Africa, India, Senegal and Argentina are expected at Schloss Elmau.

Among other things, partnerships for a sustainable energy policy will be discussed with them.
