G20 Leaders’ Summit | South Africa 2025

At the historic G20 summit hosted by South Africa—the first on African soil—leaders addressed fostering strong, sustainable, and inclusive economic growth amid global challenges like mounting debt, trade imbalances, and geopolitical conflicts. Key speakers called for enhanced debt restructuring under the G20 Common Framework, reforms to multilateral institutions for fairer financing, promotion of resilient supply chains and green transitions, and support for emerging economies in Africa and the Global South, though Argentina voiced reservations on the declaration's framing of Middle East issues. The discussions highlight the G20's pivotal role in advancing multilateralism, solidarity, and equality to bridge financing gaps and ensure no nation is left behind.
