The European Union has been a permanent member of the G20 since the group was founded in 1999, alongside three member states: France, Germany, and Italy (EU3). Additionally, Spain and the Netherlands are regularly invited as guests to the G20 meetings. Increasing engagement within the G20 is one of the key priorities outlined in the EU’s 2021 multilateral strategy. The EU aims to enhance its influence within informal fora like the G20, particularly due to their ability to “shape and reinforce the multilateral agenda and deliver strong crisis response and concrete solutions for global problems” (European Commission, 2021a).
