From November 6 to 8, the Brazilian Congress will host the tenth meeting of the presidents of the G20 Parliaments, a group of the world's largest economies, along with the European Parliament and the African Union. The group of parliaments, known as the P20, was created in 2010 with the aim of involving parliamentarians in G20 discussions in order to strengthen global cooperation and the implementation of international agreements proposed by the group of countries.

As the Chamber's legislative consultant Acauã Leotta points out, if the G20's decisions result in international treaties or agreements, these documents must be ratified. This means that they must be approved by each country's parliament.

Under the slogan “Parliaments for a Just World and a Sustainable Planet”, Brazil is hosting the 10th G20 Summit of Presidents of Parliaments in Brasilia from November 6 to 8. Created in 2010, the group of parliaments from the world's richest countries (P20) will debate proposals that help contribute to global issues.

The G20 brings together the countries with the world's largest economies. Respectively, the P20 works to guide these governments through inter-parliamentary cooperation and the exchange of information. For the first time, Brazil is in charge of the presidency of the parliamentary group, with a mandate until November 30 this year. The 10th Summit is an event organized by the two houses of Congress and has the partnership of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU).
