Gender economic equity, one of the main topics of the T20 Summit

The Think 20 community will come together in Buenos Aires on the 17 and 18 of September to share its public policy recommendations to the Argentina G20 presidency and debate relevant global governance topics.

A thousand experts from main international think tanks, Argentine government officials, representatives from international organizations and the business community will come together in the CCK to participate in the T20 Summit on Monday 17 and Tuesday 18 September. During the two days, the institutions that currently preside the engagement group will hand over the Communiqué to the Argentine G20 presidency.
