PARIS - French President Nicolas Sarkozy and former British prime minister Tony Blair will host a meeting in Paris in January to look at concrete ways to respond to the economic crisis.
The meeting on January 8 and 9 will be held ahead of a second G20 meeting scheduled for early next year in London to agree on a response to the finance crisis that has since spilled over into the broader economy.
"This is a crucial period," Sarkozy said Wednesday. "Now more than ever, we need to show that we can propose concrete solutions to the challenges that we are facing."
The list of guest speakers include Nobel prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, U.S. philosopher Francis Fukuyama, Indian economist Amartya Sen and his French colleague Jean-Paul Fitoussi.Blair said the conference, to be dubbed "A New World: Values, Development and Regulation", would make a vital contribution to efforts to come to grips with the economic downturn.
