President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi of Egypt is attending the G20 summit in Brazil on November 18–19, which will focus on social inclusion, global governance reforms, and energy transition. The summit, attended by global leaders, is especially relevant against the backdrop of U.S. political uncertainties and ongoing conflicts, with a launch of the “Global Alliance for the Fight Against Poverty and Hunger” planned among other initiatives.
On November 18–19, 2023, Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi is participating in the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, marking his nation’s fourth attendance at this global forum. The summit will focus on crucial priorities for developing nations, including social inclusion, poverty eradication, reforming global governance agencies, and energy transitions for sustainable development. The Egyptian presidency’s spokesperson, Ahmed Fahmy, indicated that the summit sessions will serve as a platform for Al-Sisi to address Egypt’s development narrative, highlighting regional crises such as the escalating tensions in Palestine and Lebanon. During the summit, significant initiatives such as the launch of the “Global Alliance for the Fight Against Poverty and Hunger”—fueled by Brazil’s G20 presidency—will be introduced. This alliance aims to mobilize resources and knowledge to alleviate poverty and hunger, crucial components of the Sustainable Development Goals. Additionally, President Al-Sisi is expected to engage in bilateral discussions with other global leaders to enhance international cooperation, with a specific focus on promoting peace and prosperity in the region. The summit will take place amidst considerable geopolitical uncertainty, notably concerning the upcoming U.S. presidential election and a backdrop of growing concerns over global issues like climate change and security instabilities due to Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine. The G20 leaders will convene under the theme “Building a Just World and a Sustainable Planet,” with sessions dedicated to social inclusion, governance reforms, and sustainable development initiatives. The resulting conclusions remain uncertain given the multifaceted global challenges that will be addressed.
The G20 summit is an important international forum where leaders from the world’s major economies convene to discuss significant global issues. The summit’s agenda typically addresses topics pertaining to economic stability, development, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability. The involvement of leaders from various nations reflects their recognition of the interconnectedness of global challenges and the necessity of collaboration to achieve sustainable solutions. Egypt’s participation at this summit highlights its growing international influence and the recognition of its role in regional stability, particularly amidst current crises in the Middle East.
The participation of President Al-Sisi in the G20 summit underscores Egypt’s proactive stance on global issues, particularly those impacting developing nations. The outcomes of the discussions held during this summit will potentially chart the course for international cooperation aimed at fighting poverty and hunger and addressing pressing social and environmental challenges. As world leaders engage with the pressing issues of governance reform, climate change, and geopolitical tensions, the summit represents a critical moment for reaffirming commitments toward global solidarity and sustainable development.
