Helsinki Process Proposes a G20 Summit to Bridge North-South Gap
27, January 2005
Excerpt from press release:
"We need urgently global political leadership and coordinated action to achieve the Millennium Development Goals of the UN," Foreign Affairs Ministers of Finland and Tanzania Erkki Tuomioja and Jakaya Kikwete, co-chairs of the Helsinki Process say. For the time being, G-7/8 is the closest suitable forum for this, but it is not sufficiently global in its membership. Helsinki Process Track Groups propose a regular summit of 20 (or thereabouts) heads of the government from the North and the South. This leader level G-20 could act as an effective coordinating mechanism for global economic governance."
