What is the G7?

The G7, or Group of Seven, is an intergovernmental political forum consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. These major advanced economies meet annually to discuss global issues like economic policy, international security, and energy. Their call for the Houthis to cease military actions highlights their role in addressing international conflicts and humanitarian concerns.
