The Guardian reports:
Chancellor Gordon Brown and US treasury secretary Hank Paulson today pledged to confront the growth of international protectionism and urged a swift resumption of stalled global trade talks.
Mr Brown called on Britain to become “an evangelist for globalisation”, arguing free trade, open markets and flexibility were the preconditions of success in the global economy.
“I want globalisation’s children - the coming generation - to enjoy the vastly increased opportunities it brings,” Mr Brown told the CBI annual conference.
