London – The United Kingdom will host the G20 summit in 2027, Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced Sunday. The UK aims to leverage the summit to stimulate global growth, champion a comprehensive global agenda, and bolster international stability.
Speaking from the G20 summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, Starmer stated, “Hosting the G20 summit presents a unique opportunity to reshape the global agenda and drive economic stability both within the UK and internationally,” according to a statement released by the British government.
“As we enter the next cycle of G20 presidencies, we must redouble our efforts toward our core mission: to propel growth, not only in terms of raw numbers but also in the opportunities available to workers in every nation,” Starmer added. He emphasized the importance of collaboration with international partners to restore stability and promote widespread prosperity, benefitting all.
The G20 comprises 19 of the world’s largest economies, alongside the European Union and the African Union as key multilateral bodies. Collectively, the G20 accounts for 85% of global GDP, 75% of international trade, and represents two-thirds of the world’s population. The UK’s hosting of the summit underscores its commitment to playing a leading role in shaping the global economic landscape and addressing pressing international challenges.
Further details regarding the summit’s agenda and logistical arrangements will be released in due course. The UK government has indicated that it intends to prioritize issues such as sustainable development, climate change, and inclusive economic growth during its presidency.
Analysts suggest that the 2027 G20 summit will provide a crucial platform for world leaders to address emerging economic challenges and coordinate policy responses.
