    Harper: Leave Aid Talks to G-8

    Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said that tackling development concerns of poor nations should be left to the G-8 as the group consists of all major donors whereas the broader G-20 includes emerging market economies.

    “It is a smaller group of countries that share values and perspectives and status,” he said.

    His comment, according to The Canadian Press, will possibly stir disapproval from emerging nations such as South Korea, which stressed that development should be given priority.
