President Cyril Ramaphosa officially inaugurated South Africa’s G20 Presidency at Parliament this week.
Under the theme “Fostering Solidarity, Equality, and Sustainable Development,” South Africa will lead the global forum’s initiatives.
Ramaphosa said that the country will use its presidency of the G20, the first by an African nation, to put the priorities of the African continent onto the agenda of the powerful global economic forum, AFP reported.
South Africa took over the rotating presidency of the grouping of the world’s biggest economies on December 1 and will host its summit in November before handing over to the United States.
It is a “great moment for our continent” as well as for developing countries known as the Global South, Ramaphosa said at a briefing to launch the presidency.
“We will use this moment to bring development priorities of the African continent and more broadly, the Global South, more firmly onto the agenda of the G20,” he said.
