G-7 Hiroshima Summit

Context:

Recently, US President said that the Group of Seven (G7) nations had agreed on a united approach to China that called for diversifying supply chains to reduce dependence on one country.

What is the G-7 Summit?

The Group of Seven is an informal group of leading industrialised nations.
It consists of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States.
The first summit was in 1975, when France hosted what was then a Group of Six meeting to discuss tackling a recession that followed an Arab oil embargo.
Canada became the seventh member in 1976.
Russia joined to form the G-8 in 1998 but was expelled after Moscow’s 2014 annexation of Crimea.
In addition to G7 members, invited countries and international organizations that are not G7 members may also participate in G7 meetings.

How are G7 Summits being prepared?

Summit preparations are primarily done by the so-called “Sherpas,” the personal assistants of the heads of state and government.
A “Sherpa” is a mountaineering term which originally referred to the “guide who assists climbers to reach the top (summit) of a mountain.”
Sherpas from the G7 members maintain close contact as they prepare to reach the summit—a successful leaders’ meeting.
