The 2010 G20 Seoul Summit was the fifth meeting of the G20 heads of government/heads of state, to discuss the global financial system and the world economy,[1] which took place in Seoul, the capital of South Korea. South Korea was the first non-G8 nation to host a G20 leaders' summit.[2]
The G20 is the premier forum for discussing, planning, and monitoring international economic cooperation.[3]
The theme of the summit was "Shared Growth Beyond Crisis".[4]
