LONDON - British Prime Minister Gordon Brown says that the U.K will host an April 2 meeting of the Group of 20 industrialized and emerging economies on the financial crisis.
Brown told lawmakers Wednesday that President-elect Barack Obama has said he will attend the talks.
The G-20 nations and four international organizations met for emergency talks in Washington on Nov. 14-15.
Leaders said they needed a summit early next year to check progress on promises to cooperate more closely, toughen supervision of banks and give bigger roles to fast-rising nations.
