The Meeting’s agenda will be to faster the required global leadership and stewardship, with the following five working principles in mind:
- dialogue is critical and must be multistakeholder-based;
- globalization must be responsible and responsive to regional and national concerns;
- international coordination must be improved in the absence of multilateral cooperation;
- addressing the biggest global challenges requires the collaborative efforts of business, government and civil society; and
- global growth must be inclusive and sustainable.
