During the Summit, the Canadian prime minister highlighted a number of issues, including the importance of G20 leadership in beating the COVID-19 pandemic and restoring economic growth.

This included discussions about vaccines and creating new jobs that would “benefit all of our citizens.”

Additionally, Trudeau also spoke with his international counterparts about taking “ambitious action” in the fight against climate change, in line with Paris Agreement commitments.

Per the PM’s own statement, he also “stressed the need to respect and defend the rule of law and human rights, including women’s rights, in order to prevent persecution and mistreatment around the world.”

Sounds like an interesting meeting, eh?
