The '''Group of Eight (G-8)''' is a group of eight of the world’s principal industrial nations.
*[[Canada]]
*[[France]]
*[[Great_Britain]]
*[[Germany]]
*[[Italy]]
*[[Japan]]
*[[United States]]
*[[Russia]]
They come together to confer over key [[economic]] and political issues. The first meeting was held November 1975, in Rambouillet, France, with only France, West Germany, Italy, Japan, Great Britain and the United States attending. Canada became a member of the Group of Eight in 1976 at the Dorado Beach, [[Puerto Rico]] Summit. Russia joined the meetings in 1994 at the Summit in Naples. Russia wasn’t a legitimate member until 1997 when it attended the Denver, [[Colorado]], "Summit of the Eight."
The “Group of Eight” meets frequently to discuss global economic issues. The G-8 has no permanent staff, or budget, and the nation hosting the Summit for that year is obliged to supply facilities for all the other G-8 meetings that will take place during the year.
