The theme 'Fostering solidarity, equality, and sustainable development' aims at addressing critical global challenges, with a strong focus on Africa 's development
Mr. Chrispin Phiri, the spokesperson for the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, says the theme for South Africa's presidency will be"Fostering Solidarity, Equality, and Sustainable Development." It seeks to address critical global challenges, with a strong focus on Africa's development.
"South Africa's presidency is poised to have significant implications for the broader African region, particularly within the SADC. The nation's strategic position within the G20 will enable it to lobby for policy gains that benefit South Africa, the SADC, and the entire continent, in which key areas of focus include promoting policies that ensure economic benefits for all South Africans, particularly the economically marginalized, for economic benefits," said Phiri.
Professor Danny Bradlow, a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Advancement of Scholarship at the University of Pretoria, says South Africa's priorities should include addressing debt and development financing, particularly for Africa. Prof. Bradlow notes the need for South Africa to inherit and advance initiatives from Brazil's G20 presidency, such as the Hunger and Poverty Alliance and discussions on global taxation, particularly the contentious issue of a wealth tax on billionaires. He acknowledges that, while these are complex issues involving questions of sovereignty, they are crucial for generating resources for development finance.
