"We thank Germany for hosting a successful Hamburg summit and look forward to meeting again in Argentina in 2018, in Japan in 2019 and in Saudi Arabia in 2020."

Under the terms of the revolving presidency G20 hosts can set the summit agenda and Germany this year used the opportunity to focus on development partnerships with Africa.
This year's summit was rocked by unprecedented violence as protestors clashed with riot police in the streets of Hamburg.
