19th G7 summit

The G7 is an unofficial annual forum for the leaders of Canada, the European Commission, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. ==Issues==

The summit was intended as a venue for resolving differences among its members. As a practical matter, the summit was also conceived as an opportunity for its members to give each other mutual encouragement in the face of difficult economic decisions. Issues which were discussed at this summit included: • World Economy • Trade • The Environment • Russia and Other Countries in Transition • The Developing Countries • International Cooperation and Future Summits ==Accomplishments==

In 1993, the summit leaders called for an "international agreement" to "protect forests," but there is little evidence of follow-up action. ==Gallery of participating leaders==
