About the G7 Summit
The G7 (Group of Seven) Summit is an annual international conference attended by the leaders of seven countries - France, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Canada (in order of host country) - as well as the head of the European Union. This year, Japan will serve host country for the G7 summit in Hiroshima along with several G7 Ministers' Meetings across Japan. This marks the seventh time Japan has hosted the G7 summit.
