The main subjects reviewed at the working breakfast of G8 leaders were the growing sovereign debts and budget deficits in many countries, as well as other economic and financial issues.

The second meeting of the G8 heads of state and government was held with the participation of leaders of several African countries: Algeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Malawi, Nigeria, Senegal and South Africa.
