Rwandan President, Paul Kagame and Director-General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala met on Friday evening ahead of the G20 Summit.
The two-day Summit is slated to hold from October 30-31, 2021 in Rome, Italy, and will be hosted by the Italian Presidency.
Charles Michel, President of the European Council, and Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, will represent the European Union (EU).
At the end of the meeting, the G20 leaders are expected to adopt a G20 leaders’ declaration.
This year’s Summit discussions will be organised into three main working sessions: Global Economy and Global Health, Climate Change and Environment, and Sustainable Development.
Last year’s edition was hosted by Saudi Arabia’s King Salman amidst the coronavirus pandemic that overshadowed the gathering of Heads of State, as they had to meet virtually.
The Saudi Monarch touted G-20 efforts to inject more than $11 trillion into the global economy this year as stimuli to support businesses and the most vulnerable.
