G-8 Summit
The G-8 summit was held in Scotland. This forum is known for its insensitivity to the poor country's interests. They make such economic plans and policies in the name of poor countries' development that cannot be avoided by the poor countries. Consequently, they are forced to take loan with those policies. But the result is unchanged. The poor become poorer.
Anyway, today's issues of this summit are mainly focussed on the prospects of offering more assistance to the poor countries. But Mr. Bush, the US President, had clearly said before going to the summit that he would not sign any treaty which he considers unfriendly to the US economy and domestic development.
So what could we expect from the rich countries?
