Your country not invited to the G-20? Join the club!
Did your country’s invitation to the G-20 get lost in the mail? Well, it is an elite group of nations. And while it is called the G-20, and you would think there would be 20 countries, actually there are 19 countries, plus the European Union, which has a lot of individual members. But, it is still an exclusive club. So what about all the 170-plus countries that were NOT invited to the party in London? The BBC’s Ros Atkins, host of World Have Your Say, has been hearing from people around the world who don’t belong to the G-20 club.
