Participation of the Vice President and Minister, Debate on Global Innovative Solutions, Business Forum, Engagement Groups, and Global Political.
Brazil is leading the G20 and seizing opportunities to take charge of discussions for a global agenda. With B20 Brazil under the country’s leadership, the first official act – the Opening Event – will take place on January 29 at the Federation of Industries of the State of Rio de Janeiro (FIRJAN), in Rio de Janeiro, and will gather government authorities such as the Vice President and Minister of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade (MDIC), Geraldo Alckmin, and CEOs of Brazilian and foreign companies. This is the first time Brazil has taken the coordination of the business forum, exercised by the Federation of Industries (FIRJAN).
Brazil is also participating in the G20 engagement group, where the 20 economies involved in the forum are discussing important issues for the global economy. With Brazil’s advances in this area, the country is positioning itself increasingly relevant in the international context. Brazil’s leadership in the B20 and G20 reflects the recognition of the country’s economic and political importance on the world stage.
