Argentina is stepping up preparations for the upcoming summit of ‎the Group of 20, which will convene in Buenos Aires on Nov. ‎‎30.

The upcoming meet will be the first G-20 summit to be hosted in South America, ‎and Argentina has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in ‎security for the event, including purchasing state-of-the-art Israeli ‎technology. ‎

The Group of 20 is an international forum of governments and ‎central banks chiefs from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, the ‎European Union, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, ‎Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, ‎the United Kingdom and the United States. ‎

Founded in 1999, the G-20 aims to shape policy pertaining to the ‎promotion of international financial stability.‎

Argentine President Mauricio Macri assumed the one-year rotating G-20 ‎presidency on Nov. 30 in an official ceremony at the Kirchner ‎Cultural Center in Buenos Aires.‎

According to reports in Argentine media, Buenos Aires has ‎purchased four advanced Shaldag class patrol boats from Israel for ‎‎$80 million and has spent an additional $5.5 million on cyber ‎defense software, as well as some $2.75 million on a radar system ‎that jams drone signals. ‎

The patrol boats ‎were delivered to Argentina in April and July ‎this ‎year and are fully operational. They will join other ‎Argentine ‎navy vessels in patrolling Buenos Aires' shores during the summit. ‎

According to a government statement, the cyber defense software ‎purchased from Israel has both defensive and offensive ‎capabilities, as well as intelligence-gathering features, especially helpful in monitoring online and social media chatter. ‎
