Saud Abumelha, MPP '25
Audience Restricted to SPIA graduate students, faculty and fellows

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.
