Moscow, June 3 -- : Russia on Tuesday said that idea to expand the G7 summit is a step in the right direction but it doesn't account for a true representation of countries as it is hard to implement global initiatives without China.
"Idea of an expanded G7 summit is in general a step in the right direction but doesn't really mean a true representation. For instance, it's obvious that it's hardly possible to implement serious global initiatives without China," said Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova.
"We currently have an efficient, tried and tested format, G20, which includes G7, BRICS and other leading centres of economic growth and political influence of the entire world, not just one part of it," Zakharova added.
