Former Japanese National Security Advisor Shigeru Kitamura shares his assessment of the Évian G7 Summit and what it means for the future of the international order. His take: the G7's real achievement wasn't rhetorical unity. It was the recognition that democracies must fuse security, technology, energy, finance, and supply chains into a single strategic framework. International order is no longer defended by diplomacy or military deterrence alone, but by the full architecture of national power. China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea don't act in unison, but they share one habit: hunting for the seams of open societies, betting that democracies are too slow and divided to respond. His ambition for the G7 is for it to become less of a summit process and more of a strategic operating system, and the test is whether it can move from declarations to disciplined execution.
