G7

The group of seven (G7) is an international intergovernmental economic organization consisting of the seven major countries i.e. France, Germany,  Canada, Italy, Japan, the United kingdom and the United States. These are the largest IMF advanced economies of the world, established in 1975, created with the purpose an annual gathering of the powerful leaders to discuss about various topics like trade related, security and also exchange their ideas. Few days ago, Us president Donald Trump put a idea in front of the media and said that the president G7 is outdated and recommended the expansion of adding 4 other countries- India, South Korea, Australia, Russia, turn it into G11, with the all powerful leaders of the powerful nations against China. But for Russia it is difficult as Russia was already a member of the G7 but in 2014 its membership suspended. In G7 they will use their veto powers. This will tilt RUSSIA towards China and can create disturbance in the relation of India and Russia, as India have a friendly nature with almost every nation. So for India it is a good opportunity. India should be clear in its aim. India should focus on  economy, trade and business, security and dispute with China. As a new cold war is on the brink to occur between the Us and China, and India will play a very significant role.
