On Saturday, November 22nd, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa opened the G20 summit in Johannesburg with remarks addressing world leaders. U.S. President Donald Trump was notably absent, with the American president boycotting the summit due to the persecution of white farmers by the South African administration.
In his speech, Ramaphosa stressed the need for “multilateralism” to tackle “the threats facing humanity today.”
The South African leader spoke of solidarity being the key to creating an inclusive future for those most at risk, noting that in an interconnected world, the challenges of one country inevitably affect all others.
