LONDON-- A group of current and former world leaders on Tuesday called on the G20 to convene an urgent summit to tackle the coronavirus pandemic and provide a "strongly coordinated global response".
"The time is right for G20 leaders to hold a second meeting to... agree to a more strongly coordinated global response to the health, economic and social emergencies we face," they said in an open letter to world leaders. "Without action from the G20, the recession caused by the pandemic will only deepen, hurting all economies and the world's most marginalized and poorest peoples and nations the most."
The letter also called for action against tax havens, with sanctions issued against countries which breach the rules, to ensure adequate funding.
