Morrison to join G20 leaders' virus summit

Prime Minister Scott Morrison is set to discuss the coronavirus pandemic with Donald Trump and other G20 leaders in a "virtual summit" next week.

The summit is being organised by the host nation for this year's summit, Saudi Arabia.

"The G20 will act, alongside international organisations, in any way deemed necessary to alleviate the impact of the pandemic. G20 leaders will put forward a coordinated set of policies to protect people and safeguard the global economy," the host nation said in a statement on Wednesday.
