Do you think that the G7 has lost its relevance in a world of emerging powers and changing global order?

G-7 was formed in response to the economic crisis 1973 as a forum for nations of developed world to deliberate on global economic / political and foreign issues. Loss of Relevance of G-7: → Rise of China: emerged as 2nd largest economy, negotiator in conflicts in Syria. → Death of multilateralism: decline of WTO, UN, trade war, rise of regional groups and minilateral. → Rise of global south: India, China, South Africa, Brazil → raising their voice on international issues, following strategic autonomy.
