CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - A meeting of finance ministers and central bankers from the Group of 20 nations in South Africa failed on Wednesday to come up with a joint communique, with a "chair's summary" issued by the host reiterating a commitment to resisting protectionism.

This week's talks in Cape Town were overshadowed by the absence of several key finance chiefs and foreign aid cuts by major economies like the United States and Britain.
