The French government has announced a one-day change to the dates of this year's G7 summit. The summit was originally planned to be held in Evian-les-Bains, but the dates have been updated to June 15-17.
According to POLITICO, the main reason for the date change is to avoid a clash with a large-scale UFC fight planned at the White House in Washington. The sporting event is scheduled for June 14.
According to information, June 14 is celebrated as National Flag Day in the USA and also coincides with US President Donald Trump's 80th birthday. For this reason, the French side deemed it appropriate to adjust the calendar so that the international event does not divert attention.
Official circles have stated that the content and agenda of the summit will remain unchanged, with only a technical date adjustment made.
