The G20 Summit is an annual international meeting attended by the leaders of 19 countries and the European Union (EU). The 19 countries are Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Republic of Korea, the Republic of South Africa, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America. In addition to the G20 leaders, the summit is also attended by the leaders of invited guest countries and representatives of invited guest international organizations.

Japan assumed the G20 presidency in 2019. In addition to the G20 Osaka Summit on June 28–29, relevant ministerial meetings will also take place in eight cities around Japan. One of these is the G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting.

The 2019 G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting follows the meetings in Los Cabos, Mexico, in 2012, in Bonn, Germany, in 2017, and in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2018. At the 2018 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting, discussions were held on “Contribution, Expectations, and Nature of the G20,” “Multilateralism and Global Governance,” and “Actions for Fair and Sustainable Development.”

The G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Nagoya, Aichi, will be the last of the relevant ministerial meetings under Japan’s presidency. The presidency will be handed over to Saudi Arabia, which will assume the presidency for 2020 at this meeting.
