Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh (front left) with other G-8 Leaders, invited leaders and Heads of international organisations at the Konstantinovsky palace in Strelna outside St Petersburg, July 17.

Leaders of the G8 group of major powers turned their focus Monday to salvaging stalled world trade talks after overcoming their differences to appeal for an end to the Middle East crisis.

The eight industrialised powerhouses invited their counterparts from five key emerging market economies -- Brazil, China, India, Mexico and South Africa -- to join the third and final day of their annual summit.
