G7 Summit 2021: Boris Johnson Hosts Biden, Macron And Others As Leaders Prepare To Meet in Cornwall

The G7, also known as the Group of Seven, is an international organisation made up of the world's seven largest advanced economies: Germany, Italy, Canada, France, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States.

The member country holding the G7 presidency, currently the UK, is responsible for organising and hosting the year's annual summit. Each member nation takes over the presidency for a year on a rolling basis.

Since 1975, representatives from the seven nations have met at least annually to discuss economic policies and other issues of global importance.

At the end of the summit a communication is issued outlining what has been agreed.
