Saudi Arabia will be hosting virtually the G20 on 21 November at a time of global economic uncertainty due to the impact of COVID-19 and declining oil prices.
The summit has prioritized the theme of ‘protecting lives and restoring growth,’ with G20 countries having contributed USD 21 billion to COVID-19 research and USD 11 trillion to collectively stabilize the global economy.
Beset by criticism over the war in Yemen underway since 2015 and human rights violations from the 2018 murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi and the detention of women as well as other activists, the G20 was seen as an opportunity for the Saudi leadership to demonstrate their global and regional relevance.
This webinar will be livestreamed on the MENA Programme Facebook page.
