G7 – Officers Pulse

The Group of Seven (G7) is a collective of seven of the world’s most industrialized and developed economies. Their political leaders come together annually to discuss important global economic, political, social and security issues.
The G7 member countries are the United States, Britain, France, Japan, Germany, Italy, and Canada.
Russia belonged to the forum from 1998 through 2014, when the bloc was known as the G8, but was suspended following its annexation of Crimea.
India is not a member of the G-7 grouping.

The United Kingdom has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attend the G7 summit that is scheduled to be held in June.
Apart from India, Australia and South Korea are also invited to participate in the proceedings of the summit as “guest countries”.
Mr. Modi participated in the G7 summit in 2019 when French President Emmanuel Macron had invited India.
The invitation came days after the U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson had to cancel his visit to India in the last week of January because of a new wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Britain.
Cooperation between the U.K. and India is significant this year as India is a non-permanent member at the UN Security Council, where the United Kingdom will take over the presidency in February.
