Which one of the following nations is not a permanent member of G7 ?

The Group of Seven (G7) is an informal intergovernmental organization consisting of seven of the world's most advanced industrialized economies. The permanent members are the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom [1][5]. While India is frequently invited to G7 summits as a guest nation and has been considered for potential expansion in the past, it is not a permanent member of the group [1][4]. Canada joined the group in 1976, completing the current seven-member structure after it was initially formed as the G6 [3]. Russia was a member (forming the G8) from 1997 until its suspension in 2014 following the annexation of Crimea [1][5]. The European Union also participates in meetings as a non-enumerated member but does not hold the rotating presidency.
