Answer: Negotiating the restructuring of sovereign debt and commercial debt, respectively
When a nation faces a sovereign debt crisis and cannot meet its repayment obligations, it must restructure its debt. The 'Paris Club' is the forum where the debtor nation negotiates relief or rescheduling of bilateral loans owed to other *governments*. Conversely, the 'London Club' is where the debtor nation negotiates with its *private commercial bank* creditors. Together, they manage the complex process of international debt resolution.
