Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand said she will press at a meeting of Group of Seven foreign ministers for a reduction in hostilities in the US- and Israel-led war in Iran as countries around the world contend with a surge in energy prices.

Anand told Bloomberg Television on Thursday ahead of the meeting in France that she recently spoke with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio about the situation in the Middle East.
