Can the G7 survive in a fragmented world?

In a new AFPC-USA podcast produced in partnership with the @hinrichfdn, Peter Draper, Professor and Executive Director of the Institute for International Trade at the University of Adelaide, examines the future of the G7 as it faces growing global uncertainty.

Hosted by Roseanne Gerin, the conversation explores how the G7 has shaped global economic governance for more than 50 years — and whether it can continue to remain relevant amid the rise of China, the expansion of BRICS, the influence of the G20, tensions with Russia, and political divisions within Western democracies.

Draper explains why the G7’s informal diplomacy still matters, how leaders use private conversations to manage sensitive global challenges, and why journalists should pay closer attention to the domestic political forces shaping international summits.

Today, on World Press Freedom Day, the Association of Foreign Press Correspondents in the USA honors the courage, integrity, and vital work of journalists around the world.

A free and independent press is essential to democracy, accountability, and the public’s right to know. At a time when journalists continue to face censorship, intimidation, violence, imprisonment, and growing threats to their independence, we reaffirm our commitment to defending press freedom as a fundamental pillar of open societies.

Foreign correspondents play a critical role in helping the world understand events beyond borders. Their work brings facts, context, and human stories to global audiences, often under difficult and dangerous conditions.

On this day, we stand in solidarity with all journalists who pursue truth, hold power accountable, and defend the public’s right to be informed.

The Association of Foreign Press Correspondents in the United States (AFPC-USA) was pleased to host a roundtable lunch today in New York City with Francesca Rossi, IBM Fellow and IBM AI Ethics Global Leader.

An exceptional group of international correspondents representing media organizations from various countries joined the conversation for an educational discussion on recent developments in artificial intelligence and the ethical questions surrounding its rapid evolution.

As part of its mission, the Association creates opportunities for international correspondents to engage directly with distinguished leaders and experts on issues that matter for their reporting and for the broader public conversation.

This roundtable was one of the Association’s ongoing off-the-record discussions designed to support meaningful dialogue, professional learning, and informed journalism.

Thank you to Francesca Rossi and to all the journalists who joined us for this important conversation. @ibm

China now produces more than 30% of the world’s manufactured goods—more than the U.S., Germany, and South Korea combined. In AFPC-USA’s latest learning takeaways, economist Mariko Watanabe examines how China’s industrial planning system helped build that scale, but also how it is fueling overcapacity, trade distortions, and growing pressure across global markets. From electric vehicles and solar panels to steel and supply chains, the effects are being felt far beyond China.

This conversation, produced in partnership with the Hinrich Foundation and hosted by Roseanne Gerin, explores why China’s industrial catalog matters, how it shapes investment decisions, and what it means for the future of global trade, developing economies, and the rules-based trading system. Read the takeaways here.

Covering the U.S. economy in 2026 requires moving beyond headline indicators and understanding how economic signals translate unevenly across American society. While official data may suggest stabilization or growth, lived economic experience often tells a more fragmented story. https://t.co/Bq0NqBtByv

The 2025 Hinrich-IMD Sustainable Trade Index reveals a world economy in flux, as global trade shifts from the old consensus of efficiency and multilateralism toward fragmentation, strategic autonomy, and exclusive trade blocs. IMD Chief Economist Christos Cabolis discussed the key findings of this year's index in a webinar hosted by our partners at the Association of Foreign Press Correspondents-USA.
