Rio de Janeiro, November 19, 2024 – The Europe Today: The leaders of the G20 adopted the outcome declaration at the conclusion of their high-level summit held in Rio de Janeiro on November 18–19, 2024. The declaration, described as a consensus-driven document, outlines the commitment of the group to addressing global challenges while fostering strong, sustainable, balanced, and inclusive growth.
“We, the Leaders of the G20, met in Rio de Janeiro on 18-19 November 2024 to address major global challenges and crises and promote strong, sustainable, balanced, and inclusive growth,” the document states, as cited by foreign media outlets.
Unlike some past summits, the declaration does not indicate any reservations or dissent from participating nations. However, Argentine President Javier Milei, while agreeing to sign the document, voiced his disagreement with certain sections. According to his press office, the president objected to provisions related to taxation, “legal inequality,” and perceived “restrictions on the freedom of expression on social media.”
The Rio summit, marking a critical juncture in international cooperation, addressed pressing issues including economic recovery, climate action, and equitable access to technology and resources. The agreement reflects the collective intent of the world’s major economies to navigate complex global challenges through coordinated action.
Further deliberations on unresolved matters are expected to continue in upcoming meetings and forums under the G20 framework.
