LONDON – Leaders of rich and developing countries are arriving at the Group of 20 summit in London, where they will seek to bridge divisions on how to fix the global economy.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown greeted President Barack Obama and other leaders at London’s ExCel conference center ahead of a breakfast meeting Thursday.
Obama has urged European governments to spend more to get the economy going. But France and Germany have resisted, saying the focus must be on tighter financial market regulation.
Obama and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, the summit’s host, say they are confident a strong agreement will be reached.
