2B20 Tokyo Summit: Modality of Operation
 Due to the capacity constraint of facility, the participants in
the B20 Tokyo Summit (e.g. panellists, moderators, guestspeakers, etc.) will be invitation only.
 Each national business federation of the G20 member
countries has a mandate to select and nominate theattendees to the Summit.
 Given the very short period of time between the handoverof presidency from Argentina (1 December 2018) and theB20 Summit (14-15 March 2019), it is not realistic,
financially-sensible and physically-viable to organise
taskforces on each policy area and hold face-to-facemeetings, as has been the case with the recent B20s.
 Against this backdrop, Keidanren have been closely
communicating with business federations in respectivecountries.
