On November 18, discussion “Results of the G20 Summit: “Business as usual"?" took place at the Valdai Club. Young foreign professionals in the area of international relations from Argentina, Brazil, Myanmar, India, Serbia and South Sudan took part in the discussion.
The following speakers presented at the event:
The discussion was moderated by Oleg Barabanov, Programs Director of the Valdai International Discussion Club.
The experts focused on the role of G20 as a platform for the international dialogue and the agenda of the Bali summit. According to them, the government of Indonesia did not allow positions of western countries to dominate the meeting and was able to reinforce the role of G20 as a forum representing the whole world in a multipolar perspective.
The foreign speakers believe that Russia and G20 need each other, and resources provided by the platform allow to effectively advance interests of the country and its partners in the global arena. A proposal was made that since G20 is a tool of global management, it is necessary to make the African Union its member.
