This year's G7 Summit was held at Elmau Castle, Garmisch-Partenkierchen region, Germany.

The forum, which is held regularly every year, consists of seven developed industrial countries. The forum members are the United States, Britain, Germany, Italy, Japan, Canada, and France.

This forum discusses the world situation with the aim of reaching decisions and agreements for cooperation in certain fields.

However, the decisions and agreements are only proposals and recommendations, so they are not binding. The results of the summit are usually announced in a joint statement.

However, this year, Germany, as the host of the G7 Summit, did not only invite member countries, but also invited Indonesia, Senegal, Argentina, India, and South Africa. These countries are invited as partners.

Indonesia was also invited as President of the G20, whose peak will take place in October. The President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, also attended the two-day summit. This year's G7 summit will take place from Sunday 26 June 2022 and Monday 27 June 2022 local time. (RRI)
