BUSAN, South Korea, June 5 (Xinhua) -- The meeting of the G20 finance ministers and central bank governors on Saturday ended in South Korea's southeastern port city of Busan, leading to a joint communique calling for member countries' continued efforts on financial reform.

The two-day meeting drew up a joint communique signed by participant leaders, although there have been some thorny issues, such as a global bank levy, accompanied by disputes among participant leaders.
