Macron urged the G7 to remain open and not turn into a club against China or a source of division in the world.

【Macron makes a "friendly" statement: G7 must not become a club against China】

On January 8, 2026, Paris time, French President Emmanuel Macron said in a speech to French ambassadors:

Your priorities are to eliminate global imbalances within the G7. Do everything possible to avoid the world from splitting and not let the G7 become a club against China, a club that splits the world or a club against the BRICS. Nor should the BRICS become a club against the G7. If these two structures confront each other, this would be the worst scenario.
