Sitting Patiently

So we’re here at the Media Center for the G20 Seoul summit.  We wait patiently.  Leaders have arrived here at Seoul and are continuing to arrive all day.  The Leaders summit kicks off with a working dinner for leaders tonight (Thursday) – from 18:00 to 21:00 to be followed by apparently Sherpas and deputy finance ministers.

Korean officials have just briefed us that the wording is still in flux on the question of currency rates and imbalances – current account balances. The spokesperson did say that the wording may be different than the wording in the Finance Ministers statement coming out of Geyongju Korea (October 22-23).
