The correct answer is Option (3) - India
India is not a member of the Group of Eight (G-8).
The G-8 held annual summits where leaders of member countries gathered to address pressing global challenges, such as economic stability, trade, climate change, and security issues. The meetings provided an opportunity for leaders to exchange views, coordinate policies, and sometimes make joint commitments to address common concerns.
In 2014, following Russia's annexation of Crimea, the other G-7 countries decided to suspend Russia's participation in the group, effectively reverting it to the G-7. Since then, the G-7 has continued to meet annually, focusing on similar issues as the G-8 but without Russia's participation.
The G-8 consisted of:
Canada
France
Germany
Italy
Japan
Russia (expelled in 2014)
United Kingdom
United States
India participated in some G-8 summits as a guest but wasn't a formal member |
