Brazil's Lula: Crisis will worsen if G20 fails

BRASILIA, March 26 (Reuters) - Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Thursday that the global economic crisis will worsen if next month's G20 meeting in London fails to come up with concrete initiatives to bolster the world economy.

"If the G20 becomes a meeting just to set another meeting, we'll be discredited and the crisis can deepen," Lula said after meeting British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

Brown is on the third stop of a tour through Europe, Latin America and the United States to seek support for a G20 meeting of leading economies that will discuss measures to tackle the global financial crisis. (Reporting by Raymond Colitt; Editing by Eric Walsh)
