Badung, Bali (ANTARA) - The G20 Leaders Summit in Bali on November 15–16, 2022, will discuss a number of priority issues, including food and energy security, global health architecture, and digital transformation.

The three issues will be discussed in separate working sessions. G20 leaders will discuss food and energy security and global health architecture on the first day of the summit and digital transformation on the second day.
