World economic growth was high on the agenda as G20 countries wrapped up their summit today.


Jameson Wong has more.


{SOT}

A key focus of the summit -- ways to boost the world economy. G20 countries discussed the importance of the "robust" use of monetary, fiscal and structural measures to achieve strong, sustainable and balanced growth.


Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe today warned the downside risks to the global economy were increasing, and the G20 needs to respond with a sense of urgency.


Another key issue -- the impact of Britain's exit from the European Union.


{Soundbite} THERESA MAY, British Prime Minister: It is a historic decision for the British people. It will be a complex and challenging process leaving the European Union. But I'm very clear that it doesn't mean we are going to be inward-looking. In fact, we want to be even more outward-looking around the whole of the world.


On climate change, India said it will not be able to ratify the Paris agreement this year. That's despite a similar move by China and the United States on Saturday.
