London Summit Leaders Statement
2 April 2009

1. We, the Leaders of the Group of Twenty, met in London on 2 April 2009.




2. We face the greatest challenge to the world economy in modern times; a crisis
which has deepened since we last met, which affects the lives of women, men,
and children in every country, and which all countries must join together to
resolve. A global crisis requires a global solution.

So sad to see Cristina Fernandez of Argentina standing in the group photo for the Seoul G20 meeting looking so melancholic. During the last G20 meeting her husband was still alive. Keep your chin up, good lady.

From a Democracy Now interview

the WTO is not a secret society of corporate plot-hatchers.

PASCAL LAMY: It wasnt created as some dark cabal of multinationals secretly cooking plots against the people. We do things in the openlook at our websitegovernments negotiate in the open.
