was held at London, United Kingdom between 7-8 May 1977. The venue for
the summit meetings was the British Prime Minister's official residence
at No. 10 Downing Street in London. 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.
