7國集團領導人在日本召開峯會
The heads of state of the world's seven wealthiest nations plus the leaders of the European Union began their annual summit on Thursday in the coastal Japanese city of Ise Shima.
Prime Minster Shinzo Abe greeted U.S. President Barack Obama and the leaders of Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Canada at the Ise Grand Shrine. Each leader walked across a long bridge to the shrine, accompanied by a white-robed priest, before assembling for a traditional group photograph.
The agenda for the two-day G7 summit is dedicated to boosting the sluggish global economy, combating terrorism and maritime security, the last point an obvious nod to China's increasing territorial expansion in the resource-rich South China Sea.
After the summit's conclusion on Friday, Obama will travel to Hiroshima, where tens of thousands of Japanese were killed when a U.S. warplane dropped the world's first atomic bomb in 1945, hastening the end of World War Two.7國集團和歐盟領導人星期四在日本海濱城市伊勢志摩召開年度峯會。
日本首相安倍晉三在伊勢神宮迎接美國總統奧巴馬以及英國、法國、德國、意大利和加拿大領導人。每位領導人都在一位身穿白袍的神職人員的陪同下，走過一條通往神宮的長橋，按傳統禮儀參加合影。
這次爲期兩天的7國集團峯會將主要討論如何振興疲軟的全球經濟、打擊恐怖主義以及海事安全等問題，最後一個問題顯然是針對中國在資源豐富的南中國海不斷強化的領土擴張態勢。
星期五峯會結束後，奧巴馬將前往廣島訪問。1945年，美國戰機在廣島投放了世界上第一顆原子彈，造成大量傷亡，也催化了二戰的結束。
