After seven years, there will be another G7 meeting of heads of state and government at the same place, but with a completely different composition: from June 26 to 28, 2022, the powerful of the world will come together in Elmau Castle above the municipality of Krün in Upper Bavaria. The castle is a special accommodation that was already the setting for such a gathering in June 2015.
The hotel is called Schloss Elmau Luxury Spa Retreat & Cultural Hideaway and enjoys an international reputation for its cultural program that has been cultivated for decades. It belongs to the prestigious group “The Leading Hotels of the World“.
The summit meeting is organized once a year by one of the seven members. Since Germany is presiding this year, Chancellor Olaf Scholz invites and sets the topics for the summit meeting. “We will use our G7 presidency to ensure that this group of states becomes a pioneer. A pioneer for climate-neutral economies and a just world,” said Olaf Scholz in advance.
French President Emmanuel Macron, Italy Prime Minister Mario Draghi, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Japan Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and US President Joe Biden are expected on Sunday.
The luxury hotel, located about 100 kilometers south of Munich, had already proven itself as the location of a G7 summit in 2015. At that time, Chancellor Angela Merkel had invited to Elmau Castle as the hostess.
President Barack Obama (USA), Prime Minister David Cameron (UK), President François Hollande (France), Prime Minister Matteo Renzi (Italy), Prime Minister Shinzō Abe (Japan) and Prime Minister Stephen Harper (Canada) came – all are no longer in the Government office.
