G20 reaffirmed their commitment to the poor

The G20 contries affirmed their commitment to the poor on 2nd April 2009. Here is a quote from their Communiqué.

"We recognise that the current crisis has a disproportionate impact on the vulnerable in the poorest countries and recognise our collective responsibility to mitigate the social impact of the crisis to minimise long-lasting damage to global potential."

But please also note that more has to be done for the poor. Have a look at this article from TearFund (UK) commenting on the G20 statement.
