Dubai: Participants at a global issues summit are wrapping up their three-day brainstorm by urging world leaders not to lose sight of other pressing international challenges as they focus their efforts on fixing the world's financial system.
Representatives summarizing discussions of the 700 some politicians, business leaders and academics gathered in Dubai over the weekend called for a coordinated global response to the unfolding economic crisis.
Speaker after speaker reflected a growing sentiment among world decision-makers that any solution needs to include more input from growing Asian economic powers and others that have long felt marginalized from global financial decision-making.
