US President Barack Obama has invited leaders of top 20 economies to meet at Pittsburg in Pennsylvania to discuss the current global economic crisis and the progress made after the previous G-20 Summit in London in April.
"The President and First Lady look forward to welcoming world leaders to the Pittsburgh Summit September 24-25," the White House said, adding that it is working closely with state and local officials to plan for a successful and productive meeting.
At the Pittsburgh Summit, President Obama and leaders representing 85 per cent of the world's economy will assess progress made since the Washington and London G-20 Summits and discuss further steps to achieve a sound and sustainable recovery from the global financial and economic crisis.
Countries and organisations participating in the Pittsburgh Summit would be having a tour of the David L Lawrence Convention Centre which will be the primary home of the summit and additional event sites today, the White House said.
