World leaders have started arriving in South Africa ahead of the first G20 summit ever held on the African continent, scheduled for Nov. 22-23, aimed at discussing some of the world’s most pressing challenges.

Established in 1999, the G20 comprises 19 countries and two regional bodies—the European Union (EU) and the African Union (AU).

The Group of Twenty powerful nations represent around 85% of global Gross Domestic Product, over 75% of international trade, and about two-thirds of the world's population, according to information on the group’s website.

In line with South Africa’s G20 theme, “solidarity, equality, and sustainability,” the summit is expected to focus on debt sustainability for low-income countries, because it’s a key obstacle to inclusive growth in developing economies, including many in Africa. They will also discuss how to adapt to the climate crisis and transition to clean energy, among other issues.

The G20 leaders are also expected to discuss cooperation among members and the body’s way forward.

Meanwhile, global leaders are expected to hold several bilateral talks with counterparts on the sidelines of the two-day conference.

According to a post on US social media company X, Australia’s Premier Anthony Albanese met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and European Union (EU) President Ursula von der Leyen on Friday to bolster ties.

“Our relationship with the EU is based on shared values - and it’s growing stronger. Today I met with Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Council President Antonio Costa to progress our trade, security, defense and research cooperation,’’ Albanese posted on his official account.

President Tayyip Erdogan is also expected to hold meetings with President Cyril Ramaphosa, as well as other G20 leaders and representatives of international organizations, according to a statement by Communications Director Burhanettin Duran on Turkish social media platform NSosyal.

He will also address various sessions of the summit.

South Africa’s Deputy President Paul Mashatile will host French President Emmanuel Macron to commemorate the French citizens who played a role in the fight against apartheid in South Africa.
