G20 leaders adopted a consensus declaration on Saturday at their summit in Johannesburg, demonstrating a united commitment to multilateralism despite objections from the United States.
The declaration was approved earlier than usual; typically, it is endorsed at the end of the summit, highlighting the determination of member states to move forward even without Washington’s support. South Africa’s International Relations Minister Ronald Lamola welcomed the move, calling it a strong affirmation of global cooperation.
He described the final text as containing significant and “revolutionary” provisions for Africa and the wider world.
