Leaders of the G20 group of countries have rolled into London for a major summit, with the economic downturn foremost in the discussions. The leaders arrived and met for the first time yesterday. Last night, they converged in the UK Prime Minister’s house at 10 Downing Street, creating a twenty minute procession of the world’s most powerful figures. Sub-Saharan African leaders were South Africa’s Kgalema Motlanthe and Ethiopia’s Meles Zenawi. Away from the politicians, there were large public protests on multiple environmental and social causes in The City (London’s business district). All in all, an entertaining day. Today, Thursday, the leaders are having their formal summit.
It is actually quiet in London at the moment away from the G20 action.
