President Kagame in Argentine for G-20 Summit

Rwanda has been invited at the Group of 20 (G-20) Leaders’ Summit which takes place in Argentina on Friday, TOPAFRICANEWS has learnt.

The G-20 Summit convenes amid a tit-for-tat trade war between the United States and China, whose leaders are expected to meet during the summit weekend.

Five other countries that have been invited as well are Chile, Jamaica, the Netherlands, Senegal and Spain.

Singapore is not a member of the G-20, a group which comprises the world’s 20 largest developed and developing economies. They make up about two-thirds of the world population and three-quarters of world trade.

But it has been invited to this year’s summit as a representative of Asean, which Singapore chairs this year. It will also convey the views of the Global Governance Group (3G), an informal group of 30 small and medium-sized countries which aims to promote greater transparency and inclusivity in the G-20 process.

The 2018 G20 Buenos Aires summit will be the 13th meeting of Group of Twenty. It will be held in 2018 in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina, the first G20 summit to be hosted in South America.
