US President George W. Bush said yesterday that he looks forward to
hosting an international financial summit "in the near future."
"I look forward to hosting this meeting in the near future," Bush said in the
presidential retreat Camp David with French President Nicolas Sarkozy and
European Union President Jose Manuel Barroso. "It is essential that we work
together because we are in this crisis together," Bush said.
Sarkozy has called for such a meeting to discuss the global financial crisis
that has plagued the United States and other developed countries.
Earlier yesterday, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he supports the idea
to host a global meeting on the financial crisis in New York.
