I hope that the experience we have accumulated since joining the G8 will ensure respect for tradition and consolidation of our efforts. Russia, as the presiding country, regards it as its duty to give a fresh impetus to efforts to find solutions to key international problems in energy, education and healthcare. This year, we plan to urge our partners to redouble efforts to ensure global Official address energy security. We believe that today, it is crucial to find a solution to a to visitors of problem which directly influences the social and economic development of all countries, without exception. I am convinced that our efforts Saint Petersburg towards attaining this goal should be comprehensive and must stimulate stabilization of the global energy markets, development of innovation and the 2006 technologies, use of renewable energy sources and protection of the G8 Summit environment. We believe that today, we must think very seriously about ways to bridge the gap between energy-sufficient and energy-lacking countries of the world. The spread of all kinds of epidemics in the world emphasizes the need to step up the fight against infectious diseases. We are convinced that the creation of a global system to monitor dangerous diseases, the development of regular interaction between experts from different states, and broader exchange of research information about dangerous viruses will have a major positive influence on the solution of these serious problems. In addition to the current agenda, we also plan to raise the issue of education in the G8. In our opinion, the time has come to focus on ways to improve the quality and effectiveness of national education systems and professional training. We must find tools for encouraging the international business community to increase investment into this sector. Other major international issues we will concentrate on during Russia’s Presidency are counterterrorism and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, the settlement of regional conflicts, the development of the global economy, finance and trade, as well as protection of the environment. I hope that the official site of Russia’s G8 Presidency will help you to get your bearings in the multitude of questions and problems facing us, as well as to learn more about the efforts of G8 member states to solve them in order to promote the sustainable development of humankind.

Hence it is necessary to read both from prelims as well as mains perspective. In news: Trump to host G7 meeting via video conference Placing it in syllabus: Multilateral groupings Dimensions: G7 history origin and headquarters Its contributions Criticisms against G7 and G20 as an alternative to it Content: The 46th G7 summit which was scheduled to be held through June 12, 2020, in Camp David, United States, will be conducted by video conference in response to the global coronavirus pandemic. Participants will include the leaders of the G7 member states as well as representatives of the European Union. The decision has come as nations around the world have sealed their borders and have banned travel to stop the virus’ spread. G7 history origin: G7 stands for “Group of Seven” industrialized nations. It used to be known as the G8 (Group of Eight) until 2014 when Russia was excluded because of its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine. France, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States and West Germany formed the Group of Six in 1975 so that the noncommunist powers could come together to discuss important economic issues, global security etc… Canada joined the group in 1976. Russia joined in 1998 and signaled a cooperation between East and West after the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991. The G7 is an informal bloc and takes no mandatory decisions, so the leaders’ declarations at the end of the summit are not binding.

  • G8 Research Group May 30, 2010
    Join the Global Conversation Policy Brief The Group of Eight G8 Research Group May 30, 2010 The 36th G8 summit, taking place in Muskoka, Canada, on June 25-26, 2010, will strengthen governance both within itself and in its relationship with the new G20. At Muskoka, the world’s most powerful leaders will have frank, face-to-face intimate discussions, backed by deeply shared values, to deal with critical global issues in the domains of development and security. For the first time, the G8 summit will occur in tandem with the summit of the G20 in Toronto on June 26-27, the first since the G20’s proclamation at Pittsburgh in September 2009 that it is the world’s premier permanent forum for international economic cooperation. In March 2010, Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper stated that “the G8 remains the principal forum for advancing our common agenda of peace and security, as well as democracy and development. This is critical work. Indeed, progress made on economic issues at the G20 table risks being undone if the world’s pressing security and development concerns are not addressed with equal vigour.” Today’s G8 first met in 1975 as the Group of Six, with the leaders of France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. Its initial mission was to govern economic and related issues, based on their shared values and responsibilities to protect open democracy, individual liberty and social advance around the world. In 1976, at the urging of Henry Kissinger, Canada was added. Russia became a full member in 1998.
