G8 Summit Camp David 20122012

The G8 was an intergovernmental forum consisting of the world’s largest high-income countries: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, the US, and Russia. The European Union also participated as a “non-enumerated member.” The goal of the G8 was to discuss major global issues, including trade, security, economics, and climate change. The Heads of State for the member countries would meet at an annual summit, with the agenda set by the host country. The G8 reverted to the G7 in 2014, following the suspension of Russia due to the annexation of Crimea.

The 38th G8 summit was held at Camp David, Maryland, United States, from May 18 to May 19, 2012. The topics of discussion for the summit, as set by host country US, consisted of the European debt crisis, the Syrian Civil War, the nuclear advancements in Iran and North Korea, and the political reforms in Burma, amongst others.
