Finance ministers arrive for G-20 summit in London

(NECN) – British Prime Gordon Brown has called on Group of 20 leaders to commit to continued efforts to boost global growth, saying that the world economy is at a “critical juncture.” Addressing finance officials from the G-20 rich and developing countries at the start of their talks in London on Saturday, Brown said that cooperation on the path ahead was essential. The G-20 is convening in the British capital amid mounting signs of at least a modest economic upturn. But Brown warned against “complacency or overconfidence.” The finance officials are tasked with laying the ground for the G-20 leaders’ meeting in Pittsburgh later this month.
