The '''G8''' is an informal group of eight major industrialized countries: the [[United States]], [[Canada]], [[Japan]], [[Britain]], [[France]], [[Germany]], and [[Italy]] (plus the [[EU]] who has observer status), and since 1998 [[Russia]]. The G8 heads of state have met annually since 1976 in summit meetings to discuss economic and political issues.
The country holding the Chair is responsible for hosting and setting the agenda of the Summit.
