have met annually since 1975. Six countries met at the first summit,
held at Rambouillet, France in November 1975 (France, the Federal
Republic of Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United
States). Canada participated in the meeting for the first time in 1976
and a representative of the European Community participated for the
first time in 1977.
In 1989 15 the
leaders of 15 developing countries met with the G7 leaders before the
Paris Summit. Between 1991 and 1994 the Soviet Union and then Russia
participated in a post-summit meeting with the G7. From 1994 to 1998
Russia and the G7 leaders met in what was referred to as the P8 (or
Political 8) at which everything other than financial issues were
discussed. After the 1998 Birmingham Summit Russia has participated in
all discussions in what has become the G8.
