These include the finance ministers and central bank governors of 19 countries:[2] Argentina: President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner Australia: Prime Minister Kevin Rudd Brazil: President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva Canada: Prime Minister Stephen Harper China: President Hu Jintao France: President Nicolas Sarkozy Germany: Chancellor Angela Merkel India: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Indonesia: President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono Italy: Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi Japan: Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama Mexico: President Felipe Calderón Russia: President Dmitry Medvedev Saudi Arabia: King Abdullah South Africa: President Jacob Zuma South Korea: President Lee Myung-bak Turkey: Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan United Kingdom: Prime Minister Gordon Brown United States: President Barack Obama The 20th member is the European Union, which is represented by the rotating Council presidency and the European Central Bank.

Italy pushed back quickly on Thursday against a British bid to promote the Group of 20 into the steering committee for the global economy, exposing the concern of some European countries that this would be at their expense. Old world fault lines evident as G20 chiefs meet Fri Sep 25, 2009 1:40am EDT Email \| Print \| Share\| Reprints \| Single Page[-] Text [+] By Alister Bull - Analysis PITTSBURGH (Reuters) - Italy pushed back quickly on Thursday against a British bid to promote the Group of 20 into the steering committee for the global economy, exposing the concern of some European countries that this would be at their expense. Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, currently chairman of the Group of Eight, urged the two forums be kept separate and made a coded call to maintain the dominance of the smaller group. "We stress that it is essential that there should be the closest coordination between the G8 and G20 presidencies, and that the differences between the two are clear," Berlusconi wrote in a letter to the G20 summit host, U.S. President Barack Obama.
