G20 Summit Tackles Key Issues

The recent G20 Summit allowed for critical engagement on efforts to address major global economic challenges

The summit was attended by the Heads of State and Government of the G20 member countries which collectively account for 85 percent of global economic activity and two-thirds of the world’s population.

President Cyril Ramaphosa also attended the summit, which took place in Osaka, Japan.

The Presidency said that in the interest of advancing African development, the leaders reaffirmed their commitment to the timely implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda.

“There are also enhanced roles for the World Bank, African Development Bank and International Monetary Fund to implement the Compact with Africa. This initiative will contribute to the realisation of the African Union’s Agenda 2063,” the Presidency said.
