The growing complexity of global challenges requires an effective and coordinated management and response system.

Amid this, the G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting aims to provide an opportunity for a substantial and informal discussion on the role of foreign policy in addressing key challenges on the international agenda.

The Foreign Ministers' meeting will focus on global governance and multilateralism as a key tool to address key global challenges and promote sustainable recovery.

The international response to COVID has indeed confirmed the importance of a common approach at the international level, as opposed to formulating "national" interventions.

Discussions will focus on the need to strengthen international cooperation (and relevant multilateral institutions) in key areas such as global health, sustainable development, climate change, and international trade.
