The United States will host the G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, on October 30-31 as Washington steps up preparations for a series of high-profile global summits later this year.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced yesterday that the meeting would bring together foreign ministers from the world’s leading economies to advance the G20’s core mission of promoting global stability and prosperity.
The discussions are expected to focus on strengthening international cooperation, addressing global economic challenges and supporting open markets and resilient supply chains, according to the State Department statement.
The announcement comes as the United States prepares to host the broader G20 Leaders’ Summit from December 14-15 at Trump National Doral in Miami, Florida. The summit will coincide with celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of the United States. The G20 includes major economies such as the United States, India, China, Russia, Japan, Germany, France, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Australia and the European Union. Together, the grouping represents around 85 per cent of global GDP and nearly two-thirds of the world’s population.
