The English-language word "summit" entered the Russian language at the end of the 20th century. It is relatively young and not everyone knows what it means. So, a summit is a meeting, meeting or meeting of high-ranking officials, taking place at the highest level.
With the spread of the English language throughout the world, new words with English roots began to enter the Russian language. The summit, in translation into Russian meaning "meeting", takes place in each state or between states within a certain time frame established by agreement. In modern history, a number of summits are displayed that are of great importance for a number of states. For example, the G8 summit, which brought together the governments of Russia, Japan, Italy, Canada, Germany, USA, France and Great Britain. This international forum of the leaders of the listed states is coordinating approaches to important international problems. The summit, as can be seen in the case of the G8, may not have any charter, therefore, the people or states that are members of it cannot officially accept the status of a member of this “assembly”. As a rule, there is an unspoken agreement among the participants of the summit, which implies an annual or quarterly collection in sequence on the territory of each participant. In large summits, where several countries are involved at once, a chairman is necessarily appointed, which is one of the participating states, elected by the rest of the states for a certain period of time (usually 1 year). In addition to the participants themselves, outside representatives who are directly related to each of the participants can also participate in the summit. If we take into account the aforementioned G8, then the outside representative is the representative of the European Union. The significance of any summit, as a rule, is enormous for each of its participants, since it is at such meetings that many problems of an international nature are resolved. Thanks to the summits, the friendship of peoples is growing, both within states and between the states themselves and their leaders. And this, in turn, is important for the normal and stable development of economic and political relations in the world.
