Proud South Korea, which has been yearning for a spot in G7, is not invited to this year's G7 summit in Italy. In a press release, the South Korean presidential office said countries are invited to G7 meetings based on the theme, and the key theme this year was issues concerning Africa and the Mediterranean region. Sounds like a hard attempt to cover up the embarrassment.But the country's opposition party ripped off the fig leaf. The Democratic Party of Korea said that strengthening its solidarity with Western countries at the expense of relations with China - have led to the result. This result proves that South Korea is not as important in the eyes of the West as Seoul may have thought. Some analysts say Japan is the biggest stumbling block on South Korea's way of joining G7 given their territorial disputes, historical grievances, trade frictions and more importantly, Japan is unwilling to see its own status as the only Asian country in the group being challenged, or having Seoul dilute Tokyo's influence in the US-led circles. The US, on the other hand, has little sincerity to invite South Korea to the group as well.This time, South Korea's G8 dream has shattered, but the embarrassing movement is supposed to serve as a wake-up call from Seoul's past misconceptions. This is a manifestation of South Korea's inferiority complex, Zhan told the Global Times. Zhan said the G7 episode shows that many Western countries do not take South Korea seriously, it is South Korea itself who tends to overestimate its own influence. In many global issues, South Korea has no say.In the past, South Korea was wooed by the G7 only because of its friendly relationship with China, which gave Seoul a higher strategic value. Now that South Korea has fully aligned with the West, proactively positioning itself against China, it is thus no longer needed by the West to make much effort to court it, Zhan added. https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202404/1311046.shtml

>>196423495Braindead retard take, go back to sucking CCP cock
SK cant be a member of G7 since their govt easily changes their foreign policies every time the president is replaced and easily kowtows to China and NK. In G7 a member must be hardline against China, Russia, and NK.
>>196423495there is literally nothing to be proud of about being in g7. and there's no responsibility either, since the "organisation" literally does nothing.
South Korea will collapse in 20 years due to a demographic crisis anyway.
