The G7 Summit is an annual gathering of leaders from seven of the world’s most advanced economies. It serves as a platform to discuss and address global economic, political, and social challenges. The G7 consists of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, with the European Union participating as a non-enumerated member. The G7 was established in 1975 as the G6, with Canada joining a year later. Russia joined in 1998, but was excluded in 2014 after its annexation of Crimea.
