RIYADH: Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan on Monday reviewed the preparations for the G20 Summit with heads of diplomatic missions. He lauded the participants of the meeting for taking all measures for the success of the G20 Summit.
Highlighting the importance of the meeting, he said the Kingdom is keen to enhance cooperation with other G20 members to counter regional challenges.
Saudi Arabia took over the G20 presidency for 2020 on Dec. 1, 2019. The Saudi presidency will focus on three aims: Empowering people, by creating the conditions in which everyone — especially women and young people— can live, work and thrive; safeguarding the planet, by fostering collective efforts on food and water security, climate, energy, and the environment; and long-term strategies to share the benefits of innovation and technological advancement.
As chairman, King Salman will host the group’s 2020 summit in Riyadh over two days in November.
