MPP Forum: "2020: When the World Stood Still. A G20 Presidency Perspective" with Saud Abumelha (GCD)
In 2020, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia assumed the G20 Presidency for the first time. However, during those times a historic milestone happened when a pandemic outbreak hit the world, and life as we know has changed dramatically for a period of time. In this forum, Saud will talk about his experience as a member of the Saudi G20 Presidency Finance Track team, including how the G20 countries revised their agenda that year in a pursuit to address the challenges faced by the world.
MPP Forum is a weekly event normally scheduled on Fridays with *lunch during the academic year. It allows each MPP student to showcase their career journey and expertise on a policy issue of their choice with the SPIA community. This formal presentation lasts about 50 minutes, followed by a 20-minute Q&A.
*RSVP required. We will try our best, but we cannot guarantee accommodation for all dietary restrictions.
