South Africa has officially assumed the presidency of the G20, marking a historic moment for the African continent.
As the first African nation to lead this powerful economic forum, South Africa aims to amplify the voice of the Global South and address pressing global challenges.
Key Priorities for South Africa’s G20 Presidency:
- Inclusive Growth and Sustainable Development: South Africa will champion inclusive economic growth and sustainable development, focusing on reducing inequality and promoting green initiatives.
- Global Solidarity: The country will advocate for solidarity and support for countries facing crises, such as those in Gaza, Sudan, and Ukraine.
- Addressing Global Debt: South Africa will prioritize addressing the unsustainable debt levels of many low-income countries, particularly in Africa.
- Harnessing Africa’s Potential: The country will highlight the potential of Africa’s abundant natural resources, particularly critical minerals, to drive economic growth and development.
By taking on this crucial role, South Africa seeks to shape the global agenda and ensure that the interests of Africa and the Global South are heard and addressed.
