PM Modi at 20th G20 Summit in Johannesburg Amid US-South Africa Tensions

Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits Johannesburg for the 20th G20 Leaders Summit, hosted by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. The bulletin covers the summit's theme of 'Solidarity, Equality and Sustainability', the significance of the African Union's recent entry into the G20, and diplomatic tensions between the United States and South Africa over participation. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa stated, 'We have received notice from the United States, a notice which we are still in discussions with them over, about a change of mind, about participating in one shape or form or other in the summit'. The White House has denied any change to its decision to boycott the meeting. The event marks the fourth consecutive G20 summit to be held in a Global South nation.
