What is the G-7, and why is India important for it?
The G-7, or Group of 7, is an informal organization of the world’s most developed economies. It was established to discuss and act on the world’s economic and monetary issues. It consists of the seven most powerful and rich countries, which make up this organization. What is the G-7? Which countries are included in it, and what is its purpose?
These 7 countries, including Britain, France, America, Italy, Germany, Japan, and Canada, are members of the G-7 organization. The combined economy of these seven countries is about 45 trillion dollars. The share of these 7 countries in the world’s GDP is 43%. African and Gulf countries are also invited to the G-7 summit. Argentina, Brazil, Algeria, Egypt, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Turkey, South Africa and UAE have been invited to the G-7 summit.
Like every year, this year also a big country like India has been invited to the G-7 summit. The reason for inviting India is also that India is considered a very important country. There are many reasons for this, such as India’s growing potential in the world, being the fifth largest economy, being the most populous country in the world, etc.
The agenda of this year’s G-7 summit is the Ukraine-Russia war and the terrible conflict going on between Israel and Hamas. The G7 summit 2024 is being held at the luxurious Borgo Eganzia resort in the Apulia region of Italy.
