The G20, or Group of Twenty, serves as a pivotal platform for
the world’s leading economies to engage in dialogue and tackle
critical economic and financial challenges. In parallel, the P20,
known as Parliament20, functions as a G20 engagement consortium
that convenes legislators from G20 nations to enhance collaborative
efforts on international matters and bolster the execution of G20
resolutions. The P20, an innovative framework, functions as a
conduit for legislative stakeholders to engage in G20 discourse and
fortify the nexus between G20 resolutions and parliamentary
implementations.
