The two also discussed planned high-level visits between the countries in the coming days, as well as recent developments in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions.
Global challenges on the agenda
Hosted by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the G20 meeting brings together top diplomats from the world’s leading economies to discuss global economic challenges, geopolitical tensions, energy and food security, freedom of navigation and supply chain resilience.
The gathering comes amid the war in Ukraine and tensions involving Iran, which continue to fuel concerns over regional stability and the global economy.
It is the final ministerial-level meeting under the US G20 presidency before the leaders’ summit scheduled for December 14–15 in Miami, Florida.
