Turkey says migration, terror on G20 summit agenda

Xinhua, October 27, 2015 Adjust font size:

The G20 summit that Turkey will host in November will discuss the crisis of migration amid high influx of Syrian refugees fleeing their war-torn country, a Turkish Foreign Ministry official said on Tuesday.

The meeting of leaders of the world's 20 biggest economies, which is scheduled for Nov. 15-16 in Antalya, will also address the problem of terror, Ayse Sinirlioglu, the ministry's deputy undersecretary, told reporters.

Turkey has introduced inclusiveness to strong, sustainable, and balanced growth as objectives of G20 efforts, Sinirlioglu said.

Turkey is keen on strengthening interaction between the G20 and Low-Income Developing Countries (LIDCs), she added.

Spain, Azerbaijan, Singapore and the chairs of ASEAN (Malaysia), African Union (Zimbabwe) and NEPAD (Senegal) are also invited to the G20 meeting, she said.

The G20 constitutes 85 percent of the world's gross domestic product (GDP) and 75 percent of the world's trade. Endit
