Portugal’s Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro, is set to travel to Brazil next week to participate in the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro. This event marks a significant opportunity for Portugal, which is attending as a guest country, to engage in discussions on global issues alongside other world leaders.
Overview of the G20 Summit
The G20 summit, which begins on Monday, will see Montenegro arrive in Rio de Janeiro in the morning. The summit is a gathering of the world’s major economies, and this year, Brazil holds the presidency. As part of the agenda, Montenegro will engage in various sessions aimed at addressing pressing global challenges.
Key Sessions and Initiatives
One of the highlights of Montenegro’s participation will be the launch of the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty, an initiative spearheaded by Brazil. Portugal is a founding member of this alliance, which aims to coordinate technical and financial partnerships to support national programs aimed at eradicating hunger and poverty worldwide.
The first working session will focus on “Social Inclusion and the Fight Against Hunger and Poverty,” where Montenegro is expected to contribute insights from Portugal’s experiences and policies.
In addition to the working sessions, Prime Minister Montenegro will have the opportunity to hold bilateral meetings with other leaders. These discussions will be crucial for strengthening diplomatic ties and exploring collaborative efforts on various issues.
