By Louis GENOT Sao Paulo (AFP) - La première réunion de l'année des ministres des Finances du G20 s'est achevée jeudi à Sao Paulo sans parvenir à un communiqué conjoint, en raison de "l'impasse" créée par les divisions sur les guerres en Ukraine et à Gaza.

Mais ces priorités ont été éclipsées durant les deux journées de réunion des grands argentiers...

Rio de Janeiro (AFP) - G20 foreign ministers open a two-day meeting Wednesday in Brazil, with the outlook bleak for progress on a thorny agenda of conflicts and crises, from the Gaza and Ukraine wars to growing polarization.

In a world torn by conflicts and divisions, Brazil, which took over the rotating G20 presidency from India in December, has voiced hopes for what President Luiz Inacio Lula da Sil...
