Christian development agency Tearfund says the G8 must commit to ending poverty when it meets next year in Northern Ireland.
David Cameron confirmed this week that next year's summit will take
place at the Lough Erne golf resort near Enniskillen, in County
Fermanagh.
Tearfund chief executive Matthew Frost said that a hunger summit
would run alongside the G8 meeting to press leaders to making the
commitments "the world's poorest need from us".
He called for "rigorous standards" to be put into place to end
corruption by making sure governments are transparent about their
budgets, and that companies clearly state the tax they owe.
"Let's make 2013 the year that we start to end hunger, and begin to
tackle the ridiculously unfair system that means that, even though there
is enough food in the world for everyone, one in eight people will go
to bed hungry tonight," he said.
