LONDON (Reuters) – U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen chaired a gathering of finance ministers from Australia, Canada, Recent Zealand, and the UK, Britain’s finance ministry said in an announcement published on Tuesday.
Yellen used the meeting to underscore the necessity for close collaboration and to develop greater resilience against global supply chain disruptions attributable to Russia’s invasion of UKraine, the statement said.
“The ministers shared perspectives on global economic challenges and reflected on the distinct challenges stemming from Russia’s illegal and unprovoked war against Ukraine,” the statement said.
