Your Excellences, fellow Foreign Ministers

Distinguished Delegates

Let me first express South Africa’s deep appreciation to you all for what has been a very productive First Foreign Ministers’ Meeting under South Africa’s G20 Presidency. I further thank the members of the G20 Troika, Brazil and the United States of America for their support and cooperation during our G20 Presidency.

This meeting had two main purposes:

  1. To have a high-level strategic discussion on the global geopolitical environment and its impact on our work; and

  2. A reflection on South Africa’s G20 Presidency priorities and High-Level Deliverables.

The meeting was opened by H.E President Matamela Cyril Ramaphosa who inter alia, welcomed the Foreign Ministers and Heads of Delegations, and elaborated on South Africa’s priorities.

The First G20 Foreign Ministers meeting under South Africa’s Presidency:

I thank you.
