Summary
Manchester will host the G20 leaders’ summit in November 2027, with Prime Minister Andy Burnham set to welcome leaders including Donald Trump, Xi Jinping and Javier Milei.
Invites will go to all 20 G20 members, including Vladimir Putin’s Russia, despite strained UK-Kremlin ties since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
The UK takes over the G20 presidency from the US after the December summit at Trump National Doral Miami, making the Manchester meeting the centerpiece of Britain’s 2027 host year.
Manchester Central, a former railway station, will stage the summit, while other G20 events are planned across the UK during the year-long presidency.
