Saudi FM: Saudi Participation in G20 Rome Summit Represents ‘Continuation of Roadmap for Collective Action’

Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan on Saturday highlighted the importance of the Kingdom’s membership in the G20 and added that the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Italy’s capital Rome was picking up where the Kingdom’s presidency had left off last year.

Prince Faisal praised the Italian efforts and achievements during its presidency of the G20 in 2021, picking up from what was adopted during the Kingdom’s presidency last year to support the group’s efforts in achieving international cooperation in the face of the global challenges.

The Saudi FM highlighted the importance of the Kingdom’s membership in the G20, citing the country’s “great economic power and influence, which makes it an influential party in drawing global economic policies.”

Saudi Arabia’s participation in this year’s G20 is a “continuation of the roadmap for joint collective action undertaken by all member states,” he added.

Prince Faisal stressed the international interest in multilateral cooperation to reach sustainable development goals through global forums such as the G20.

This is in addition to doubling joint international efforts for faster recovery from the challenges ahead, restoring global economic growth, promoting global health, and restoring stability in all aspects of life.
