DINARD, France: The Group of Seven nations ended a foreign ministers' meeting in western France without quarreling on Saturday , as they looked to lay the groundwork for a leaders' summit in August despite the absence of the US Secretary of State.

The meeting was overshadowed by the absence of US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo who sent his deputy in his place. One diplomat said it sent a message that he"had better things to do". President Trump last year pulled the United States out of Iran's international nuclear deal, rejecting the approach favoured by Washington's allies to curb Tehran's nuclear ambitions.
