| Since its first meeting in December 1999 in Berlin, the Group of 20 has come a long way to establish its relevance, credibility and emerge as a premier council for global economic cooperation. It proved to be very effective forum for discussing and implementing a globally coordinated response to the global financial and economic crisis since November 2008. Besides immediate emergency response to the crisis, the G20 has expanded its agenda to cover a number of issues that are important for the global economic growth and financial stability with the adoption of a Framework for Strong, Sustainable and Balanced Growth. The Fifth G20 Summit, held in November 2010 in Seoul, Republic of Korea, the first time in a non-G7 country, also expanded its agenda to cover Development. This paper reviews some key issues of interest to developing countries of the Asia-Pacific region having a bearing on the agenda at the G20 Summits. |
