Description
The G20 has evolved from an annual forum for the finance ministers and central bank governors of the 20 most significantly systemic countries affected by the Asian financial crisis of 1997-99 into a meeting of the leaders of those 20 countries. Indeed, at the Pittsburgh Summit in September, the G20 leaders institutionalized the process, announcing they would continue to meet regularly.
What else happened at Pittsburgh? How will the G20 evolve? Can it replace the G8?
In 2010, South Korea assumes the rotating presidency of the G20, at the same time as Canada takes on the chair of the G8. Korea brings particular strengths and weaknesses to the table, but can make a significant contribution to G20 multilateralism.
What can Korea contribute to the G20 and how? What are the issues on the G8 agenda for 2010? How can Korea and Canada collaborate and continue to promote mutual cooperation?
