The G20 Osaka summit held on June 28–29 saw leaders from 19 countries and the European Union, representing 80 per cent of the global GDP and 64 per cent of the world’s population (4.7 billion), come together to promote efforts towards achieving global economic growth. This year’s G20 summit focused on the following themes: Global Economy; Trade and Investment; Innovation; Environment and Energy; Employment; Women’s empowerment; Development; and Health.
