G20 South Africa summit sees China, allies drive agenda as US stays away
All participants but one endorse Johannesburg Declaration focusing on African debt crises, climate initiatives and critical minerals
Jevans Nyabiagein Johannesburg
The G20 summit in Johannesburg
delivered major wins for African countries on debt, climate and
critical minerals processing, but the progress was undercut by an
unprecedented US boycott.
The United States will host the event next year when it takes over the rotating Group of 20 presidency. But when the summit ended on Sunday, there was no US leader present for the ceremonial handover.
With
the US a no-show, China and its allies drove the consensus on a Global
South agenda that has dominated G20 summits since 2022.
