G20

The summit of 20 leading economies in the world began today in the Japanese city of Osaka, reported BTA.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe welcomed each of the leaders before the traditional snapshot.

A meeting of the Turkish and U.S. presidents during the G20 summit in Japan could help resolve the issue of Turkey's purchase of Russian S-400 defense systems, said NATO's chief on June 27.         

Fears that spiraling tensions between Iran and the U.S. could erupt into conflict and the latter's trade battle with China are poised to dominate a high-stakes G20 summit that will begin on June 28.

Foreign investors should put their funds into Turkey's expanding economy, the Turkish environment and urbanization minister said on June 15 at a G20 meeting in Japan.

Energy and environment ministers of the G20 countries on June 15 gathered in Japan for the first time in the group's history.

The world's top financial policymakers admitted on June 9 that trade tensions had worsened, posing a risk for the global economy, after a G20 meeting that laid bare differences between the United States and other nations.

The United States cannot use pressure to force a trade deal on China, a senior Chinese official and trade negotiator said on June 2, refusing to be drawn on whether the leaders of the two countries would meet at the G20 summit to bash out an agreement.   

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is and has to remain a quotas-based institution and we are prepared to support even their increase, taking into account that the European Union is open to doubling at least the New Arrangements to Borrow (NAB), Romanian Public Finance Minister Eugen Teodorovici said on Friday in Washington.

Trade wars, Brexit, hybrid warfare, migration, climate change. USA, China, Russia. UN, IMF, AIIB. G7, G20, 16+1 Platform. It’s almost 2019 and the European Union tries to keep the balance while seeking common answers to complex global challenges.

The day will also see a highly anticipated meeting between US president Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, whose nations have been embroiled in an escalating trade war with new US tariffs on Chinese goods set to take effect a month from now.
