South Africa's G20 presidency prioritizes leveraging the platform to advance various goals on the national, continental, and multilateral levels under the theme "Solidarity, Equality, and Sustainability," a deputy minister of international relations and cooperation said.
As chair of the G20, South Africa's priority at the national level is economic growth and job creation, while at the continental and multilateral levels it is in the country's interest to build partnerships to achieve key mutual goals, Deputy Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Thandi
Morake stated at the G20 Outreach Program meeting.
"At a national level, South Africa's Presidency seeks to address the three strategic priorities of the Government of National Unity's 7th Administration, namely: To reduce poverty and tackle the high cost of living; to build a capable, ethical and developmental state; and to drive inclusive growth and job creation," Morake noted.
According to the official, South Africa's G20-related initiatives are expected to generate significant economic benefits for the country, particularly in the tourism, transport, entertainment and hospitality sectors, as well as direct and indirect employment opportunities during and beyond the presidency.
Over 40 world leaders and ministers will attend the G20 summit in Johannesburg in November, offering opportunities to showcase the country's cultural and industrial progress, the deputy minister added.
At the same time, strengthening partnerships and
expanding dialogue with a wide range of actors is important to collectively shape the G20's approach to issues requiring international cooperation, Morake also said.
"In the midst of global geopolitical tensions and rising protectionist, South Africa’s G20 presidency will champion cooperation, collaboration and partnerships– between individuals, groups, peoples, nations," she pointed out.
