Japan will host the G20 summit of leading
nations in 2019, with Saudi Arabia presiding the 2020 edition, according
to a statement Saturday winding up this year’s event in Hamburg.
"We thank Germany for hosting a successful
Hamburg summit,” it said after the summit, rocked by unprecedented
violence as protestors clashed with riot police outside, "and look
forward to meeting again in Argentina in 2018, in Japan in 2019 and in
Saudi Arabia in 2020.”
Under the terms of the revolving presidency G20
hosts can set the summit agenda and Germany this year used the
opportunity to focus on development partnerships with Africa.
In 2015, Turkey addressed how to tackle
migration as the worst refugee crisis Europe has known since the second
world war threatened to overwhelm the region.
