Summit was held in Munich, Germany between July 6 to 8, 1992. The venue
for the summit meetings was at the Residenz palace in central Munich.
The Group of Seven (G7) was an unofficial forum which brought together
the heads of the richest industrialized countries: France, Germany,
Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada (since 1976)
and the President of the European Commission (starting officially in
1981). The summits were not meant to be linked formally with wider
international institutions; and in fact, a mild rebellion against the
stiff formality of other international meetings was a part of the
genesis of cooperation between France's President Giscard d'Estaing and
Germany's Chancellor Helmut Schmidt as they conceived the first Group of
Six (G6) summit in 1975.
