G20 - globally lost in translation
Five years after its rise as a global format, the Group of 20 most influential countries in the world is facing even wider division and incapability to find common solutions to global problems. Currently, the annual presidency is being held by Russia, who has focused its programme on growth and jobs creation. Instead, however, it is possible the G20 summit in St. Petersburg on September 5-6 to turn into a forum about Syria with no perspectives at all for finding a solution to the growing deeper conflict in the country.
