Valdai Club

Not quite a global government, the Group of Twenty summit is more than just another protocol event for world leaders. It can be described as a continuous process enabling countries with diverging and sometimes contradictory interests to find common ground and reach agreements on global economic development. Notwithstanding all the misgivings expressed by sceptics, the recent summit in Osaka once again proved just that. This was the gist of the discussions during a debate organized on July 3 by the Valdai Club with a number of prominent experts.

On July 3, at 11.00, the Valdai Discussion Club will host an expert panel discussion on the results of the G20 summit; our guests will include Russia’s G20 Sherpa Svetlana Lukash, Deputy Finance Minister Sergei Storchak, and Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Pankin.
