The G20 Summit is underway in Johannesburg, bringing together leaders and delegates from 42 countries — the 20 G20 members, 16 invited nations, and six regional blocs representing Africa, the Caribbean, and East Asia.
The gathering marks the end of South Africa’s G20 presidency, which began in December 2024 and concludes on November 30, before the United States assumes leadership for 2026. With global financial and geopolitical issues dominating discussions, President Cyril Ramaphosa highlighted key achievements during South Africa’s tenure.
Ramaphosa also urged stronger cooperation between the global north and south, stressing the importance of bridging economic divides and safeguarding Africa’s interests in the evolving global landscape.
