GROUP OF EIGHT

Group of Eight: translation

/ G8
Originally the Group of Seven, or G7, the forum brings together the most economically important nations of the Northern Hemisphere:Canada,France,Germany, Italy,Japan, Russia,Great Britain, and theUnited States. Each year, the group holds a presidential summit in addition to regular meetings of the countries’ finance ministers. Catalyzed by the 1973oilembargo on Western countries supportive ofIsrael, the G7 formed to discuss financial policy. Over time, the issues covered were expanded to includehealth care, law enforcement, energy,terrorism, trade, and the environment. The association is informal in nature, and agreements are nonbinding. After three years of close collaboration withBorisYeltsin’s government, the G7 formally admitted the Russian Federation in 1997 at the behest of British Prime Minister Tony Blair and U.S. PresidentBill Clinton. In recent years, the group has been moving toward a more inclusive model, recognizing the importance of countries such asChina,India, South Africa, and Brazil.
