The High Representative Borrell will travel to Matera, Italy, for the first in-person Ministerial Meetings under the Italian G20 Presidency, on 28 and 29 June. The
meeting of Foreign Ministers will be followed by a Joint Meeting of Foreign and Development Ministers, at which Commissioner Urpilainen will participate. This session will be a
first ever G20 meeting with the participation of Development Ministers.

On 30 June, Commissioner Lenarčič will participate in a special G20 Ministerial event on the humanitarian logistics support in future crises in Brindisi. The G20
Foreign Ministers Meeting will discuss multilateralism and global governance to fight the pandemic and build back better, as well as Africa in particular. In the margins of the plenary session,
HR/VP Borrell will hold several bilateral meetings with counterparts, including the Ministers of Argentina, Brunei (ASEAN Chair), India, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and Singapore.
HR/VP Borrell will participate along with Commissioner Urpilainen in discussions devoted to Food Security, Nutrition and Food Systems held during the Joint Foreign
and Development Ministerial Meeting.

The unprecedented participation of Development Ministers at G20 level testifies the importance of supporting a strong, inclusive and sustainable recovery in developing countries. Italy’s G20
Presidency will culminate in the Leaders’ Summit on 30-31 October in Rome, to be attended by Presidents von der Leyen and Michel. Its agenda is built around three pillars:
People, Planet and Prosperity. The EU fully supports these priorities- the fight against COVID-19, pandemic preparedness, economic recovery, climate change, digital taxation and trade.

Team Europe has mobilised a recovery package of over €40 billion to help our partner countries address the health emergency and humanitarian needs, strengthen health, water and sanitations systems
and support the socio-economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
