The ascendency of India as an economic world power

You know that G8 is the group of 8 developed and industrialist countries. Its members are Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. You do not need to be an expert on international politics to understand that it is a group of powerful countries.

Well, where are China and India? Yes, India and China are not included in the group yet. French President Nicolas Sarkozy thinks that India should be included in G8.

In an exclusive e-mail interview, Sarkozy described India as a “key player” on Thursday, without whom it wasn’t possible to address global issues. Expanding the G8 into a G13 formed part of his international priorities, the President, who arrives Friday to be chief guest at the Republic Day celebrations, said.

France and India were on the verge of “finding an agreement” on civil nuclear cooperation. “This is one of the stakes of my visit in India: to bring to fruition this evolution that I deem essential for India’s development and the protection of the global environment.”

I also think that India and China both should be included in G8. The French support will be helpful in this regard.
