It is a group of seven most industrialised countries of the world namely, US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Canada. It was earlier called G8. It was renamed as G7 after Russia stepped out of the group in 2014. These countries hold the largest gold reserves and are the top contributors of United Nations Funds. Every year, the summit is hosted by one of the members. The hosting members shall invite three more guest countries on its will. This year, UK has invited India, Australia and South Korea.
Background
India and UK are currently putting their efforts to boost their bilateral relationship. This comes at a time when there is a downward side in China-UK relations. The relations between UK and China have slid to the most confrontational levels mainly because of the recent National Security Law imposed by the latter on Hong Kong. Another major irritant between the countries is the decision of UK to ban Huawei 5G Network services. source
