Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday departed for a three-day visit to South Africa to participate in the historic G20 Leaders’ Summit — the first ever to be hosted on African soil. The high-stakes gathering in Johannesburg will also see Modi engage in a series of bilateral meetings and attend the sixth IBSA Summit alongside leaders from Brazil and South Africa.
Before leaving New Delhi, the Prime Minister said his focus at the summit would be to reflect India’s global approach rooted in shared humanity and collective progress.
“I will present India’s perspective at the Summit in line with our vision of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ and ‘One Earth, One Family, One Future’,” PM Modi stated in his departure note.
In a post on X, he added: “Will be attending the G20 Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa. This is a particularly special Summit as it is being held in Africa. Various global issues will be discussed there. Will be meeting various world leaders during the Summit.”
Modi is visiting South Africa from November 22 to 23 at the invitation of President Cyril Ramaphosa. The South African presidency is hosting the 20th G20 Leaders’ Summit, a milestone moment after India’s G20 presidency last year, during which the African Union was admitted as a permanent member of the grouping.
