G20 LIVE UPDATES | BMA gears up for departure of heads of state as G20 summit enters final stage
Executive Summary
The G20 Leaders’ Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, entered its final day with the adoption of a declaration on global security, sustainability, trade, and multilateralism, despite U.S. absence and objections. Authorities shifted focus to coordinating the departure of heads of state amid warnings of significant traffic delays from VIP movements, while security forces handled a hijacking attempt on a summit vehicle and dispersed protesters with stun grenades and tear gas. Bilateral talks on Ukraine and Gaza occurred on the sidelines, and South Africa plans a smooth G20 presidency handover to the U.S. This outcome bolsters South Africa's global standing and ensures continuity amid geopolitical tensions.
