The 20th Group of Twenty (G20) Summit opened here Saturday (Nov. 23) under the theme "Solidarity, Equality and Sustainability," marking its first-ever gathering in Africa and underscoring the Global South's rising role in global governance.
World leaders gathered for the two-day summit to address pressing global challenges amid sluggish economic recovery, rising geopolitical tensions and widening development gaps, despite the United States' decision not to participate.
With participants expected to build consensus on promoting multilateralism, the Johannesburg summit is seen as an opportunity to inject new momentum into global governance reform.
