Ministerial Meetings

Each G20 Presidency includes the organization of ministerial meetings on each of the main focus areas of the forum.

These meetings are important opportunities to discuss and further develop issues of international relevance, thus building consensus around specific shared deliverables.

The ministerial meetings are organized independently from the Summit, where the Heads of State and Government endorse some of the key outcomes achieved by the Ministers.
