Ammon News - The first in-person Group of 20 summit since the coronavirus pandemic kicks off Saturday in Rome, addressing the global economic recovery, rising energy costs and supply chain problems.

According to the AFP, G20 leaders will tackle the existential threat of climate change, regional conflicts in Afghanistan, Libya and Sudan and other issues. Bilateral meetings on the summit’s sidelines will also be held, leading to major international agreements.

Most of the heads of state and government who are in Rome will head to UK’s Glasgow on Sunday as soon as the G20 is over.
