The meeting took place under the chairmanship of the French President Emmanuel Macron from August 24 to 26, 2019. The venue was the Hôtel du Palais in Biarritz .

Due to the annexation of Crimea in March 2014, the G7 declared that a meaningful discussion with Russia within the G8 was not possible. Since then, the meetings have continued as part of the G7 process.

Macron said there would be no pre-negotiated final communiqué, unlike previous meetings. "Nobody" reads these documents, which are written by bureaucrats, on whose dependency he does not want to go.
