G20 calls on all countries to help nations most affected by food crisis, says declaration

The adoption of the joint declaration was the main intrigue of the two-day summit of G20 nations that took place on the Indonesian island of Bali

BALI /Indonesia/, November 16. /TASS/. The countries of the Group of Twenty (G20) call on all states to provide help to nations most affected by the food crisis, according to the group’s joint declaration approved on Wednesday following the Bali-hosted summit.

"We commit to facilitate humanitarian supplies for ensuring access to food in emergency situations and call on UN Member States and all relevant stakeholders with available resources to provide in-kind donations and resources to support countries most affected by the food crisis," the document said.

The adoption of the joint declaration was the main intrigue of the two-day summit of G20 nations that took place on the Indonesian island of Bali. Until the last moment, it was not guaranteed that the final text would be approved. Numerous sources close to the talks noted that Indonesian President Joko Widodo personally worked hard to ensure that the summit would end with the adoption of the final document.
