RIYADH: Saudi Arabia said on Monday it will hold the G20 summit virtually in November, instead of having leaders of the world´s richest nations converge on Riyadh as planned before the coronavirus crisis.The pandemic has forced all of the group´s meetings to be held by videoconference since March.
In that month, Saudi Arabia´s King Salman chaired an emergency virtual summit of leaders to discuss a global response to the crisis which has ravaged global economies.
"The 2020 G20 Leaders´ Summit will be held virtually on November 21-22 and will be chaired by His Majesty King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud," the kingdom said in a
statement.
"The upcoming G20 Leaders´ Summit will focus on protecting lives and restoring growth, by addressing vulnerabilities uncovered during the pandemic and by laying down
the foundations for a better future."
