South Africa Will Hold Successful G20 Summit With or Without US Participation
"We are going to make sure that it's a success," South Africa's Deputy President Paul Mashatile stated.
Several ministerial meetings to discuss the upcoming G20 Summit have already taken place and preparations are well underway, the official noted.
The G20 summit under South Africa's presidency, themed "Solidarity, Equality and Sustainability," is scheduled for late November.
In February, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he would skip the G20 summit in Johannesburg to protest South Africa's land expropriation act of 2024.
South Africa denies US claims of arbitrary land seizures, saying expropriation without compensation targets only unused or unproductive land and aims to address historical inequality, not enable unlawful actions.
