On 28–29 June 2019 the G20 summit took place in Osaka. The main topics for discussion included fostering innovations, implementation of decisions on ecological issues, stable and inclusive growth and employment, promotion of human capital by means of state-of-art technologies, quality investments and building of inclusive society. Japan’s presidency demonstrated a high level of representation of national interests and secured succession with achievements of previous presidencies. The analysis on distribution of global governance functions shows that Japan’s presidency is characterized by a plentitude of concrete decisions, that demonstrates readiness of G20 to work collaboratively. It is expected that approved decisions and initiatives would be actively promoted during next presidencies.
