One hundred former presidents, prime ministers, and foreign ministers urged G7 nations to fund global COVID-19 vaccinations.
The leaders emphasized that supporting vaccine accessibility for low- and middle-income countries is a strategic self-interest for all nations, preventing new mutations and the virus's return.
They called on the G7 to commit approximately $30 billion annually for two years to combat the worldwide pandemic.
Public opinion in G7 countries, including the U.S. and UK, showed strong support for the proposal, with majorities favoring global vaccine funding.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
