Overview
UPSC frequently asks about major international groupings, their objectives, their role in global governance, and India's engagement with them, including as an outreach partner. Understanding the G7's agenda and its influence on global policy is crucial for international relations.
The G7 (Group of Seven) is an intergovernmental political forum consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It serves as a platform for its members, who are among the world's largest advanced economies, to discuss and coordinate policies on global economic, political, and social issues.
