WASHINGTON: The United States will host the next G20 economic crisis summit in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on September 24 and 25, the White House said today.
"The United States will host the next G20 summit on September 24 and 24 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said.
He added that the gritty Pennsylvania city was chosen because it was an example of a formerly industrial heartland which had shown progress in changing its economy to embrace new kinds of job generation.
At the previous G20 summit in London in April, President Barack Obama and other leaders of Group of 20 developed and emerging economies agreed to commit one trillion dollars to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and other global bodies to help struggling economies.
They also agreed to push for greater regulation of the global financial system to tackle the deepest global crisis in decades.
