World leaders at the G20 summit in South Africa adopted a 122-point declaration on global challenges despite the United States’ absence, highlighting the resolve of the first African G20 presidency to assert its influence.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa emphasized the importance of multilateral cooperation, while French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer warned that global crises require renewed international collaboration.
The declaration called for urgent action on climate change, scaling investment from billions to trillions, reforming international financial systems to aid low-income countries, and promoting lasting peace in conflict zones, including Ukraine, Sudan, and the DRC.
Meanwhile, tensions surfaced as South Africa refused to hand over the G20 presidency to a junior US diplomat, highlighting friction over Washington’s boycott and influence.
