The G20 Leadership Summit (the group of developed and emerging countries) began this Saturday in Johannesburg under South Africa's rotating presidency and without US involvement.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has opened a two-day meeting at the Nasrec Exhibition Centre at which Heads of State and Government will address inclusive and sustainable economic growth, trade, development financing, and the debt of poor countries, among other issues, in this context of great geopolitical fragmentation.



About forty leaders, including the G20 and the invited countries, will participate in the meeting. However, US Presidents Donald Trump, Xi Jinping of China, Javier Milei of Argentina, Vladimir Putin of Russia, and Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico will not be present.
