Full text of G2 Summit Declaration

1. When the world economy and financial markets were facing serious challenges, we, the leaders of the G2, held a preliminary meeting in Washington, D.C. on November 15th, 28. We decided to strengthen mutual cooperation, strive to restore global economic growth and realize the necessary reform of the global financial system.

2. In the past few months, our countries have taken urgent and special measures to support the global economy and stabilize financial markets. These efforts must continue. At the same time, we must promote reform to ensure that global crises such as this one will never happen again. Our work will follow a common belief that market principles, an open trade and investment system and an effectively regulated financial market will cultivate vitality, innovation and entrepreneurship, which are indispensable basic factors for economic growth, employment and poverty reduction.
