Elaborating on the main theme of this year’s G20 Summit: "Recover Together, Recover Stronger", the P20 Speakers’ Summit will engage the Speakers of Parliament of the G20 countries and other invited parliaments in a discussion on the theme Stronger parliaments for sustainable recovery.

A strong parliament is a parliament that is effective and representative, and which serves as the cornerstone of democracy. In the post-pandemic world, parliaments must be strong to ensure that democracy delivers and that recovery puts citizens’ welfare and well-being at the center. Post-pandemic recovery must also be sustainable and contribute to the achievement of the global 2030 Development Agenda. 

The P20 Speakers’ Summit in Indonesia will engage parliamentary participants from the G20, guest countries, and the IPU, thus providing a platform for a frank discussion of global issues, including the COVID-19 pandemic, to identify relevant solutions.

The expected outcome from this meeting is a Declaration or Joint Statement.
