21 April - G20 Consultation with Commonwealth and OIF Members, Washington
DFI assisted OIF and the Government of Madagascar in the annual dialogue between the Government of Argentina, as current President of the G20, and the member states of the Commonwealth and OIF.
Held at the BWI Spring Meetings, the event focused on the theme of “Building a consensus for a sustainable and equitable development”, and discussions focused on three main topics: (i) the future of work and the impact of technological advances on productivity, growth, jobs and inequality; (ii) the mobilisation of domestic resources to reduce the infrastructure deficit; and (iii) the future of food security.
Member-states had the opportunity to discuss the progress of G20 initiatives on key development issues of interest to OIF and Commonwealth countries such as improving the international tax system, trade and investment cooperation, and the fight against climate change.
