The 2019 G20 summit discussed eight topics to ensure global sustainable development. The eight themes were "Global Economy", "Trade and Investment", "Innovation", "Environment and Energy", "Employment", "Empowering Women", "Development" and "Health".

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China issued a statement on June 24, in which it regards the protests against the 2019 extradition law in Hong Kong as China's internal affairs. The Chinese government wanted to remove Hong Kong from the summit's agenda for the year in order to avoid possible political and security confrontations between all G20 leaders (from outside China) and China. China has threatened to attack G20 nations that are suspected of "wrongly" accusing China. However, Japanese Prime Minister Abe had raised the issue with President Xi shortly before the official summit, while some Hong Kong citizens protested in places around the summit venue. Pro-independence leader Chan Ho-tin demonstrated with members of Chinese ethnic minorities such as Rebiya Kadeer for Hong Kong and Xinjiang issues.
