On 1 April 2026, France’s President Emmanuel Macron and Japan’s Prime Minister introduced a joint statement affirming the global nature of health challenges and outlining a roadmap for cooperation. The two leaders highlighted the need for coordinated multilateral action through the G7, G20, WHO and other international bodies, and praised the forthcoming G7 Cancer presidency and the World Health Assembly’s One Health summit in Lyon. They pledged to deepen health‑sector partnerships in the Indo‑Pacific, including a new AI‑driven security collaboration between the Institute Pasteur and Japan’s Institute for Health Security. The statement also called for enhanced scientific mobility, private‑sector innovation and supply‑chain resilience, and reaffirmed commitments to universal health coverage and equitable access to medical technology.
