The 2018 G20 Buenos Aires summit will be the thirteenth meeting of Group of Twenty (G20). It will be held in 2018 in the city of Buenos Aires (Argentina).[1][2] It will be the first-ever G20 summit to be hosted in South America.

President Mauricio Macri of Argentina assumed the one-year G20 presidency on 30 November 2017, during an offcial ceremony in Kirchner Cultural Centre in Buenos Aires, Argentina. President Xi Xinping of China (2016 host), Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany (2017 host), and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan (2019 host) all gave messages of support which were shown at the ceremony.[3]

The first G20 meetings of the Argentine Presidency began in Bariloche in early December 2017. They were attended by central bank deputy governors and deputy ministers of finance, as well as the sherpas (official representatives to the group). During the buildup to the G20 Summit between world leaders on 30 November 2018, Argentina will host over 45 meetings at various government levels and areas in 11 different cities throughout the country.[4]
