Saudi Minister of Human Resources and Social Development Ahmed Al-Rajhi received the closing statement of the civil society engagement group for the G20 countries on behalf of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz.

The C20 group wrapped up on Saturday the work of this year's civil society summit chaired by Saudi Arabia, which was held virtually during the past four days, with the presence of more than 20,000 participants from 109 countries around the world.

The summit’s agenda had 65 discussion sessions and workshops, in which the more than 380 speakers included representatives of the governments of twenty countries, international civil society organizations, and specialized international organizations, as well as experts and decision-makers.

Prince Abdul Aziz bin Salman, the minister of energy, participated in a special dialogue on the future of green energy.

A number of representatives of the Saudi presidency of the G20 countries also took part in the summit, including Fahd Al-Mubarak, minister of state.

"We won’t be part of the problem, nor part of the solution. Our goal is to be pioneering in finding solutions," Prince Abdul Aziz bin Salman said.

He affirmed that the Kingdom has been tirelessly pushing towards an international commitment to endorse the Circular Carbon Economy in efforts for a sustainable and clean environment.
