In the context of the 4th G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors (FMCBG) Ministerial Meeting that took place in Washington, D.C., on 23rd and 24th October 2024, some members and other participants expressed their views on Russia and Ukraine and the situation in Gaza.

Some members and other participants considered that these issues have an impact on the global economy and should be treated in the G20, while others do not believe that the G20 is a forum to discuss these issues.

The Brazilian G20 Presidency will conduct the discussion on these issues among Sherpas in the coming month in preparation for the Rio de Janeiro Leaders' Summit.

Recalling the G20 New Delhi Leaders' Declaration, the Chair Country urged members to uplift their commitment to the strengthening of the G20 as an effective cooperation platform, based on consensus as its most important tool.
