The G-7 is a meeting of the leaders of 7 countries, the biggest industrial and economic powers in the world.

They make decisions mainly in the field of economics and finance.

Every year they meet for a summit, a sort of big meeting, which is held in a different country every time.

What does the G-7 do exactly?

The G-7 group is made up of Germany, Canada, France, the United States, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom.

It is the opportunity for their leaders to choose the direction of the world’s future, in an officially “relaxed” atmosphere.

They can coordinate their response to a world economic crisis for example.

But the statements made at the end of the summit are not always really applied.
