German FM: Russia Can Rejoin G8 if it Keeps on Cooperating on Syria

Russia can rejoin the G8 group of countries, which is now known as the G7 without Moscow’s participation, if it goes on cooperating with the West on Syria and if the Ukrainian conflict is resolved, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said in an interview with the local media, Sputnik News reports.

"If the Ukrainian conflict is resolved and we continue to successfully overcome the obstacles, and if Russia continues to work with us on a solution to the Syrian conflict, as it does now, then the West will not be interested in excluding Russia from regular discussions between the major Western powers for a long term," said Steimneier.  

The Minister also added, that the member counties (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom) “were never interested” in isolating Russia or in turning the G8 into the G7 for a long time.
