Group of Seven (G7) The seven leading Western industrial nations: namely, the USA, Japan, Germany, France, UK, Italy, and Canada. This group evolved from the first economic summit held in 1976 and now holds an annual meeting attended by heads of state. The original aim was to discuss economic coordination but the agenda has since broadened to include political issues. Since the 1980s increasing enthusiasm for international economic cooperation has sometimes led to collective action, for example on exchange rates as a result of meetings of G7 finance ministers. Since 1991 Russia has attended G7 meetings, initially as an observer but from 2002 as a full participant. See
Group of Eight.
