世界领导人争办下届G20峰会

World Leaders Contesting G20 Summit

世界领导人争办G20峰会

World leaders are jockeying to host the next G20 summit, even before they start arriving for economic talks in London, which some fear could be marred by violent anti-capitalist protests and only limited agreement on a way out of the recession.

Italy, France, Japan and South Korea are among the countries hoping to take forward the G20 agenda, as Gordon Brown, British prime minister, conceded the London summit was part of a process rather than an event.

Mr Brown's spokesman said the London summit was “very much part of a process”.Mr Brown has had to scale back his earlier grandiose rhetoric for Thursday's summit, in which he spoke of a “new Bretton Woods” and a “global new deal”. Nicolas Sarkozy, France's president, let it be known yesterday he still feared the London summit would produce “grand declarations” but little concrete action.

Aides to Mr Brown, who chairs the G20 in 2009, say critics miss the importance of commitments to fight protectionism, to clean up bank balance sheets, new funding for the International Monetary Fund and global regulatory convergence.

Mr Brown will today tell faith leaders at St Paul's Cathedral that the summit marks a chance to reshape capitalism. “Instead of the free market becoming a free for all, can we instead build anew a market system which respects the values we celebrate in our everyday lives?” he asked.

He has set tests for the summit, including beefing up international bodies like the IMF and World Bank, cleaning banks up, tighter regulation and putting in place a “green” recovery.

世界各国领导人正在争抢下届20国集团(G20)峰会的主办权，而此时，他们甚至还没有动身前往伦敦参加经济会谈。一些人担心，激烈的反资本主义抗议，以及只能就摆脱当前衰退达成有限的协议，可能会给伦敦峰会蒙上阴影。

意大利、法国、日本和韩国等均希望接过G20议程；而英国首相戈登•布朗(Gordon Brown)承认，伦敦峰会只是整个进程的一部分，而不是一个独立的事件。

布朗的发言人表示，伦敦峰会“在很大程度上是进程的一部分”。布朗不得不收回了先前那些冠冕堂皇的言辞——他曾表示，伦敦峰会是“新布雷顿森林”会议，是“全球新协议”。法国总统尼古拉•萨科奇(Nicolas Sarkozy)昨日向外界透露，他仍然担心伦敦峰会产生“连篇大话”，却没有多少具体行动。

布朗将主持2009年的G20峰会。他的助手们表示，批评人士没有考虑到一些承诺的重要性：反对保护主义，清理银行资产负债表，为国际货币基金组织(IMF)提供新资金，以及全球监管趋同。

布朗今日将在圣保罗大教堂告诉宗教领袖们，本次峰会是一次重塑资本主义的机会。他问道：“我们是否可以重新建立一个市场体系，尊重我们在日常生活中所信奉的价值观，而不是一个众人各自为战的自由市场？”

他提出了考验本次峰会成功与否的标准，包括增强IMF和世界银行(World Bank)等国际机构的实力，清理银行资产，加强监管，以及实施“绿色”复苏等。
