Why not Africa? You know, that big 'ol "country" to the South of us? Seriously, though, since South Africa is a member of the G-20, holding a summit somewhere on the continent will help to bring all the countries of Africa to the forefront of the minds of the member nations when devising economic strategies for the future.

> In my job as President of the African Development Bank, I see the
> potential of Africa every day. But it is necessary that the G20 see that
> potential, too-and include Africa in their plans for a new global
> economic foundation.
> 
> That is why I support ONE in asking the leaders of the G20 nations to
> hold an upcoming summit in Africa. Bringing the G20 to Africa would make
> it impossible to ignore the role Africa must play in any successful
> global economic recovery. You can click the link to sign ONE's petition

> 
> Dear G20 Leaders,
> 
> Please hold an upcoming G20 Summit in Africa, and see for yourselves how
> its one billion people can be part of the global economic recovery.
> 
> As this group of twenty of the most powerful world leaders gather in
> Pittsburgh this week, I hope you'll join me in asking them to host an
> upcoming summit in Africa and see for themselves that Africa is part of
> the solution:
