The Group of Seven (G7) has called for an immediate repeal of bans on Japanese food products, according to reports from Reuters and The Japan Times. The ban was imposed by China and South Korea following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster over concerns of radioactive contamination. The G7, which includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, has urged these countries to lift the restrictions, citing scientific evidence that the food products are safe for consumption.

In related news, India's commerce chief has urged Japanese firms not to miss out on opportunities in India, as reported by Nikkei Asia. The commerce chief emphasized the potential for growth in the Indian market and encouraged Japanese businesses to invest. This comes as India's trade chief condemned terrorism and stressed unity with the G7, as reported by Bloomberg. The trade chief's comments underscore India's commitment to maintaining strong ties with the G7 nations and its stance against terrorism.
