President von der Leyen travels to Indonesia to participate in the G20 summit

Next week, President Ursula von der Leyen will be in Bali, where she will participate in this year's G20 Summit. The summit's official programme will start on Tuesday, with sessions on food and energy security, and on health. In the afternoon, President von der Leyen will co-host an event on the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment (PGII), together with the President of the United States, Joe Biden, and the President of Indonesia Joko Widodo. PGII is a joint effort to help bridge infrastructure gaps. Investments under PGII follow the highest economic, environmental and social standards and are implemented in a spirit of partnership. The EU contributes to the PGII with its investment plan for the world, Global Gateway. On Wednesday, the President will participate in the main working session on digital transformation. That same day, President von der Leyen and President Charles Michel will meet Anthony Albanese, the Prime Minister of Australia, for an EU-Australia Leaders' Meeting. The last leaders' meeting with Australia took place in 2020 via videoconference. Finally, the G20 summit will also provide the opportunity for the President to hold several meetings with world leaders.
