BORGO EGNAZIA, Italy, June 15 (Reuters) - Leaders of the Group of Seven gave strong political support for a fairer international taxation system, based on a global minimum tax, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Saturday.

Speaking at the end of the G7 summit, Meloni said a multilateral convention on a global minimum tax was ready to be signed off at a technical level.

"It is now up to countries to express their political will. Italy's (support) is there and I hope it will be done as soon as possible," Meloni said.
