This weekend, on 21-22 November, President Ursula von der Leyen will take part in the G20 Leaders' Summit along with the European Council President Charles Michel. Together as the ‘European Union' delegation, they will jointly represent the EU as a full member of the G20. Due to the current sanitary situation, the summit will take place entirely by videoconference.

This year's summit, themed ‘Realizing Opportunities of the 21st Century for All', meets under the presidency of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The first session will start on Saturday afternoon and will focus on ‘Overcoming the Pandemic and Restoring Growth and Jobs'. The second session takes place on Sunday afternoon (22 November) under the title ‘Building an Inclusive, Sustainable and Resilient Future'.

On Friday (20 November) at midday, Presidents von der Leyen and Michel will hold a joint press conference to present the EU's priorities ahead of the beginning of the summit. The press conference will be broadcast on EbS. The Saudi presidency has prepared a microsite dedicated to media interested in following the Leaders' Summit. The information for accreditation is available here.
