The South African presidency prioritised climate adaptation, debt relief, inclusive industrialisation, and upgrading global governance to better represent developing economies. The summit produced a lengthy Leaders\u2019 Declaration focused on resilience, equity and sustainable development, but it also exposed diplomatic rifts that complicated unanimous endorsement by every guest.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>G20 Summit 2025<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>2025 G20 Johannesburg Summit<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, held on <\/span><b>22-23 November 2025<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at the Johannesburg Expo Centre, marked the <\/span><b>20th meeting of the G20<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the <\/span><b>first-ever summit hosted on the African continent<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
