TOKYO (Dow Jones)--The U.S. government is considering inviting Thailand and Singapore to the Group of 20 Summit meeting to be held in Pittsburgh later this month, to seek more input from developing countries on matters such as global warming and financial regulation, the Nikkei reported Monday, without citing sources.
The U.S. will consider Thailand as the representative of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, and Singapore as the representative of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, or APEC, the business newspaper said.
