    US to Host G7

    US to host G7 May 14, 2020 Source: The Hindu Manifest pedagogy: G7 and G20 are two different power blocs in the world today who have gained significance with the growing multipolar world order. 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.
