The communiqué said G20 countries agreed further action to restore global growth, support lending and strengthen the reform of the global financial system.

After the communique was issued, British Chancellor Alistair Darling and US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner held a press conference, respectively.

The two of them admitted that the meeting achieved some progress and made active and corresponding preparations for the upcoming G20 London Summit to be held on April 2.

When answering the question about the divergences between US and EU, Darling said that individual country has different situation, so policies taken by them would be different. However, they have reached a consensus on how to stimulate global economy and strengthen the reform of the international financial system.

When asked about the US and China relations, Geithner said he had a very good meeting with Chinese finance minister and central bank governor. He said that their objectives and approaches had as much in common with each other as US and China today.

America's treasury markets were the most liquid in the world. The US was committed to putting into place policies to bring the recovery sooner and improve long-term fundamentals to get its economy back to the path just of the sustainability.

At the meeting, Chinese Finance Minister Xie Xuren introduced China's current macro-economic situation and main anti-crisis measures taken by the Chinese government. He appealed that an open, fair and orderly international financial system should be established and efforts should be made to hasten the pace of reforming the governance of the international financial institutions.

Zhou Xiaochuan, Chinese Central Bank Governor, also emphasized the efforts of improving international financial supervision and cooperation, strengthening the supervision over the systemically important financial institutions and rating agencies, while appealing that advanced economies should contribute to stabilizing their own economies and global financial markets.
