Washington, April 14: Observing that the speed of the global economic recovery is not enough, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said that the G-20 countries–a grouping of top 20 economies of the world–has a crucial role to play in the post-crisis period.
The future role of G-20, of which India is an important member, in the global economy was the key issue of discussion when the Prime Minister met the US President, Barack Obama, the French President, Nicolas Sarkozy and his Canadian counterpart Stephen Harper, on the margins of the Nuclear Security Summit here.
The two-day summit attended by 47 countries concluded Tuesday.
“I had fruitful discussions with President Obama on a host of issues relating to our bilateral relations, the regional situation, and the world economy,” the Prime Minister said.
