Leaders of the world's most industrialised countries have met in Genoa to debate global economic, political and social issues.

But the G8 leaders say that the format of future summits will be changed in a bid to limit disruption.

Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien said next year's summit would be held in a remote Rocky Mountain resort instead of his country's capital Ottawa, and would be limited to 350 delegates.

This move followed a weekend of rioting in Genoa by anti-globalisation protesters in which one young Italian man died and hundreds of people were injured.

Do international summits have a future?
