Medvedev said the unsuitability of the G8 to solve world problems

Medvedev noted that large countries were invited to the G8 discussion, calling it the outreach format and "realizing that this cannot be divided into only eight countries."

“Therefore, I believe that, of course, the United Nations, the UN Security Council should play a central role,” RIA Novosti quoted the Prime Minister as saying.

September 10, Medvedev said that the G8 is a limited format.
