French finance minister says G7 talks 'frank, sometimes difficult'

France's finance minister acknowledged Tuesday that two days of talks among leading global economies were "sometimes difficult", even as the group agreed a statement committing to multilateral cooperation in combatting growing economic risks.

"We have had frank, sometimes difficult, direct discussions to find long-term and short-term solutions to major global economic challenges in order to guarantee economic stability," Roland Lescure told reporters after the meeting of G7 finance ministers.

Their final communique however reaffirmed "our commitment to multilateral cooperation in addressing risks to the global economy".
