G20 Summit in South Africa: A New Boost for International Cooperation and Global Development
Update: 2025-11-22
Description
A spotlight on the first-ever G20 Summit held on African soil, hosted by South Africa amid complex global tensions and rising international challenges. The summit is marked by the notable absence of key world leaders, including China’s president and US President Donald Trump, influencing discussions and the prospects of reaching a unified final declaration. The main issues on the agenda include the war in Ukraine, the escalation in Gaza, crises in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the broader question of global inequality. The summit also highlights the demands of the Global South for stronger representation in shaping international decisions. An overview of the pressure South Africa faces to ensure the summit’s success, the possibility of resorting to a Chair’s Statement instead of a joint declaration, and the anticipation surrounding the United States taking over the G20 presidency next year under Trump’s unpredictable stance toward the summit’s outcomes.
