About

The Group of Seven (G7) is an informal intergovernmental political and economic forum comprising Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, along with the European Union as a non-enumerated member. Formed in response to economic crises in the 1970s, the G7 coordinates policy on global macroeconomic stability, international security, trade, and environmental issues. The forum operates through an annual rotating presidency among member states, holding regular ministerial meetings and an annual summit of heads of state.
