STORYLINE:
World leaders watched a skydiving demonstration at the Group of Seven (G7) summit in Italy Thursday.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was seen laughing with his Italian counterpart Giorgia Meloni and other leaders who gathered for the show.
The parachutists landed carrying the various flags of the G7 nations.
Afterwards, the G7 leaders were photographed with the parachutists.
Sunak also held a bilateral meeting with the President of European Commission Ursula von der Leyen after the show.
The summit opened, Thursday, with agreement on a U.S. proposal to back a $50 billion loan to Ukraine using frozen Russian assets as collateral.
Italy is hosting the summit of the leading industrialized nations in the wake of the European Parliament election, which saw a surge in support for the far right in places like G7 members France and Germany.
The G7 summit is focusing on global conflicts, the spread of artificial intelligence and on Africa issues, particularly Italy’s longstanding concern about uncontrolled migration to Europe from the continent.
The G7 is an informal forum with an annual summit to discuss economic policy and security issues. The members are Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States.
