Story summary

In November 2027, Manchester, a city in northern England, will host the G20 summit, an annual meeting of leaders from the world's largest economies. The decision was made prior to Prime Minister Andy Burnham becoming prime minister but aligns with his agenda for regional growth and devolution. During this period, the UK will hold the G20 presidency after it is transferred from the United States in December 2023. Burnham confirmed the summit's location during a visit to the UN General Assembly in New York. The event, scheduled at Manchester Central Convention Centre on November 27-28, 2027, will be the largest of its kind ever hosted by the city and is expected to involve hundreds of local people and cost an estimated £7.2 million for security alone.
