High expectations for Argentine event
The G20 Leaders' Summit should strive to be a platform underpinning principles of multilateralism and globalization at a time of global uncertainty, political analysts from China and Europe said ahead of the high-level meeting in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Friday and Saturday.
"We need a strong commitment from the G20 and we need stronger, more stable and deeper global economic cooperation. Protectionist and anti-multilateralist movements are serious mistakes, but they will not stop history," said Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, former Spanish prime minister.
"Politics today is about multilateralism, cooperation and global responses, and in this historical moment it means strengthening international organizations. If we want to see changes in political systems, let's use persuasion and not accusation," said Zapatero.
