President Cyril Ramaphosa will brief the media on Monday, December 2, 2024, about South Africa’s Group of Twenty (G20) Presidency.
During the recent G20 Rio Leaders’ Summit in Brazil, President Ramaphosa officially accepted South Africa’s responsibility for the G20 Presidency in 2025. This will be the first time an African economy leads the G20 for a one-year rotational term.
Brazil held the G20 Presidency during 2024 and South Africa will at the end of its term hand over the G20 Presidency to the United States of America.
The G20 is a forum of the world’s largest economies that meets regularly to discuss the most pressing issues facing the global economy.
Under its G20 presidency, South Africa aims to set strategic direction for establishing a more equitable, representative, and effective international order in alignment with the main multilateral processes of the United Nations.
