The summit will be held in Osaka while other meetings will be hosted at eight different locations throughout Japan.
President Cyril Ramaphosa will lead the South African delegation to the annual G20 Leaders’ Summit when he undertakes a working visit to Japan from 28 to 29 June 2019, the Presidency said in a statement.
The G20 was established in 1999 to increase multilateral co-operation for the recovery of the global economy, bring stability to the global financial system, promote long-term sustainable growth and to strengthen growth and global governance. “South Africa’s participation in the summit arises from South Africa’s international relations policy which is directed at creating a better South Africa and contributing to a better Africa and a better world,” the Presidency said.
This will include combating illicit financial flows that deprive Africa of resources that could otherwise be harnessed for its development.
