31st G8 summit

The 31st G8 summit was held from July 6 to July 8 2005 at the Gleneagles Hotel in Perthshire in Scotland and hosted by British Prime Minister Tony Blair. As host, the UK stated its intent to focus this G8 meeting on the issues of global climate change and the lack of economic development in Africa. Other announced items on the agenda were counter-terrorism, non-proliferation and reform in the Middle East. The summit was overshadowed, however, by bomb attacks in London on the first day of the conference.
