D10 club of countries

D10 is a bid by the UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, to turn the G7, a meeting forum for the world's leading economies, into a forum for the world's ten leading democracies, including G7 members and South Korea, India and Australia.

The "D10" meeting will represent over 60% of the people living in democracies around the world.[1]

The newly-minted "Asia Tsar" of the Department of State, Kurt Campbell, who was portrayed in the press as "a China hawk" and "credited as the architect of the Obama administration's 'pivot to Asia' strategy in 2012", published an article entitled 'How America Can Shore Up Asian Order'. In the article he endorsed the British proposal to expand the G7 into a larger group of democracies that will be known as the D10, with the addition of Australia, India and South Korea,[2] as "most urgent for questions of trade, technology, supply chains, and standards."[3]

Members of the proposed D10 club of countries are as follows:
