World leaders arrived at the G20 summit in Australia this weekend to help resolve serious global crises - but they stayed for the koalas.
2014年11月15日至16日,世界各国领导人飞赴澳大利亚参加G20峰会,共同商讨解决重大的全球危机。与会期间,领导人纷纷同考拉进行亲密接触。
Before getting down to the hard business of fixing the economy, ending the Ebola
epidemic1 and getting to the bottom of the situation in Ukraine, participants of the high-level talks in Brisbane were each handed Australia's
cuddly2 mascot3 for a photo-op Saturday.
All heads of state at the summit, from the 'leader of the free world' President Obama to the 'Iron
Chancellor4' Angela Merkel, proved powerless against the charms of the ridiculously photogenic animals.
Even the usually stone-faced Valdimir Putin, the summit's bete noire, was pictured cracking a rare smile while embracing an adorable
marsupial5, who appeared to be trying to escape the Russian president's iron grip.
President Obama was equally overjoyed to spend some quality time with a koala named 'Jimbelung.'
