G20 Parliamentary Speakers’ Summit (P20)

Every year, the G20 strengthens its work by engaging with various stakeholder groups. Through the sherpa tracks, 11 working groups, 1 initiative group, and 10 engagement groups meet to discuss and provides recommendation on the G20 agenda and priorities.

The parliaments, along with other stakeholders, are part of the Engagement Groups. The engagement groups that comprise non-government participants from each G20 member often draft recommendations to G20 governments that are taken into account by the G20 and contribute to the policymaking process.

As the representatives of the people and of all interests in society, the parliaments of every G20 member need to be actively engaged in this influential gathering of global leaders.

Parliaments can and should provide a substantive contribution to G20 deliberations alongside civil society, and the private sector among other constituencies of the G20.

The G20 Parliamentary Speakers’ Summit (also known as Parliamentary20/ P20) provides a valuable opportunity to deepen the recognition of each country’s efforts and ideal methods of international collaboration in related policies by discussing pressing issues faced by the global community. 

Building on the success of past P20 meetings, the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia and the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) will jointly host the Eighth G20 Parliamentary Speakers’ Summit (P20) on 6 and 7 October 2022 (preceded by Parliamentary Forum on October 5th), prior to the G20 Leaders’ Summit.
