40th G7 summit
The 40th G7 summit was held 4–5 June, 2014 in Brussels, Belgium. It was originally scheduled to be held as the “40th G8 summit” and be hosted by Russia in the Black Sea resort of Sochi. However, the other seven countries decided on 24 March that the summit would be instead held without Russia in Brussels.Following the 2014 Crimean crisis and the accompanying Russian intervention in Ukraine, there was talk of suspending or expelling Russia from the G8. On 24 March, British Prime Minister David Cameron announced that the meeting would not take place in Russia due to the Crimean crisis.The G8 is an unofficial forum which brings together the heads of major world powers: Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Japan, the United States, Canada (all since 1976), the EU Commission (since 1981), and Russia (from 1997 until March 2014). When the seven founding countries decided to hold the 40th such meeting without Russia, it became the “40th G7 summit”.
