Nordic countries ought to be part of G20
Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre suggests that the Nordic countries ought to be represented in the G20 group, which represents nations with the world’s strongest economies.
- The Nordic countries ought to be present when the world leaders discuss questions around the financial crisis, the climate and energy, Stoere said to the newspaper Bergens Tidende, Norwaypost writes.
He has already discussed the matter with his Nordic colleagues, and will do so again, when they are all present at the UN General Assembly in New York this week.
In Støre’s opinion, the Nordic countries ought to be represented in the G20, because the Nordic nations as a bloc are among the world’s ten strongest economies as well as the largest contributors to the UN and other organisations.
