In line with Norway 's emphasis on inclusive international processes , the United Nations and the UN-system , in a 2010 interview with '' Der Spiegel '' , a former Norwegian foreign minister Jonas Gahr Støre called the G20 " one of the greatest setbacks since World War II " . as 173 nations who are all members of the UN are not among the G-20 . This includes Norway , a major developed economy and the seventh-largest contributor to UN international development programs , it is not a member of the EU , and thus is not represented in the G20 even indirectly . Norway , like the other , has little or no voice within the group . Støre characterized the G20 as a " self-appointed group " , arguing that it undermines the legitimacy of international organizations set up in the aftermath of World War II , such as the IMF , World Bank and United Nations : Norway , under the government of Erna Solberg , attended the 2017 G20 Summit in Hamburg , Germany . and participates in working-groups and sub-working groups , for instance on research . The Norwegian Minister of Elderly will participate under the Japan presidency of the G20 2019
