Leaders from the Group of Seven are set to announce plans for a group that will help coordinate the supply chain for semiconductors that are critical to the global economy.

The point-of-contact group will also help steer subsea cable connectivity, ensuring security and resilience for the lines that connect countries to the Internet and each other, according to a draft statement seen by Bloomberg. G-7 leaders are meeting this week in southern Italy.
